Morning Moose. 6" of snow this am. My pick up looks like it has 5-6" of snow sitting on it. Way too windy to enjoy the beauty of it. I will be hiding in my cave today.

Anywhoooo.....I have plans to do the summer in the Pacific NW. I do not need much backing where I am now. I would like to know how much backing I SHOULD have on my reels to fish up there. I have lot's of rods and reels. Reels not lined yet. In the 7wt to 10 wt range I would like to know how much backing is necessary......so I can match reels with proper backing and lines....to the rods I have.

Would appreciate any help and or advice.

Thanks in advance.
