OnTheFly you must fish a lot of 8' water plus all I hear for you is sinktip sinktip sinktip!:lol:
I'm looking for a fly rod, that is long-hike-friendly. I prefer a combo type thing since they come with everything you need, because all this fly fishing line and stuff just I dont want to learn everything. A multi piece rod that comes with a small case that is light and small under $50 would be great (for trout in small rivers, creeks, and mountain lakes).
HOLY CARP!
You want a Fly Rod!
:shock:
Or did you lose a Bet?Notice how I added the HIKE IN where there will be no people and where the fish eat nothing but flies, unlike cedar creek.
OTF-Um... I would be spending way too much time on it and my parents already think I'm fishing "too much." So Im sticking just to what I need to know.

I got my backpacking fly rod some 2 or 3 decades ago, 4 or 5wt i think. Breaks down into several pieces and the butt is reversible to use a small spinning rod with it, too. They do usually come with floating line and work great on small creeks and the like for trout, but you have to "sneak up" on the fish. If they see you first, all bets are off. Cast in from behind the bushes or something and they will nail the little dry fly the instant it hits the water, its a blast. Do yourself a favor and get some gink to keep the dry flies on top of the water longer. You will want sinking tip line (and a bigger rod) if you are going for the steelhead. Good luck. BTW, arent you in yosemite?
Yes, we are saying the same thing. You call it the handle, I called it the butt. I don't know if every packable rod has the feature. maybe? Mine has a hole in both ends so that the first "rod" section can go into either end. The reel seat is pretty simple, just a couple of "rings" that slip over the reel to hold it. It works great and I have never had a reel come loose.

I'd like a word with your parents then.
