Hi all,
I've only been at fly fishing for about a year now, and had nobody with prior experience to help me, so im still pretty green. Now after being caught up with tubing, and tying, I'm considering building my own rod. I will mainly be fishing for trout, on the Clark Fork River in Idaho, but I'm not sure what weight blank to get. The biggest fish i'll get on the river will probably range from 1-5 pounds or so. Is a 2 wt. good for this? Also are there advantages to low weight rods? better action, easier to cast, more responsive? Right now I have a 5/6 wt. which worked perfectly for me, on my only 3 fish caught on a flyrod . But those subtle hits are almost hard to tell, so would a light wt. rod be the way to go?
Thanks for any input- David
