Hello,

I am wanting to line up some empty reels with fly line. For my inland trout that is not a big problem. But I have aquired a Cabelas 13' 8wt Spey rod and an Albright 13' 8/9 spey rod.

I have forgetted what I have read about fly lines needed on a reel. I would like to reel up lines for these rods. I have only fished for trout..but prefer to cover several species with the one rod. Namely in order I might get to fish for them. I know some fish are known to run a long way. I don't know or remember what is recommended for total fly line on the reel. 300' ?

Maybe 100' of backing, 100' of running line, and 100' of fly line? Would that be enough for:
Carp
Pike
Stripers
Steelhead
Salmon
Ocean Surf

????

I would certainily appreciate any comments. I sorta hate to do it now and then learn I did them all wrong.

tks in advance for any help offered up.

Jim
