Re: ? Rod suggestion for fishing creek
I'd use a 3 of 7'6" length on the more open section's and step up to a 5 or 6wt. of same length for the tighter sections.(With a leader of 9 to 12 ft. your leader will be about all that touches the water in small waters most of time),
you'll still get a good light presentation on the shorter casting these conditons allow for and have plenty of backbone to punch up under downed trees and such on the longer casts in the tight stuff to...
In the warmer shallower summer season I'd drop as low as a 00 wt. for the delicate dry fly and tiny wet flies that work so well during that time of year..Just a few thought's...
Wish ya great fishing,Bill
