Had not had the opportunity to fish it till the last two weeks on a trip to the Black Hills of South Dakota. Ohhh, Momma!! What a totally sweet little rod! Handled the smaller streams through mid size canyons. Wet flies, dry ... beautiful, perfect presentation!! Little brookies to larger browns and rainbows ... hauled all of 'em wonderfully!! Sweet, sweet, sweet!!!! Can't wait to go back! Trouts don't live in ugly places

Sierra reel with a 5#TT line. Both worked beautifully. Did, however, take some time to get my time down!! Trouts don't live in ugly places
