I would look no further than the 8'3" #7 McFarland Juniata if I was heading out there to fish that hatch. Not sure if others will chime in on this,
if others have the rod. Fishing big dries is a blast with this rod, it performed well during the hex hatch and it seemed to have the power needed to overcome
wind when needed. I would take this and a graphite 9' 6 weight if I was heading out there and decide what to fish once I got there and tested them out.
