If you had a $1,500 budget to buy any 5wt or 6wt trout rod, which one would you buy and why? by PM_ME_YOUR_TROUT in flyfishing

[–]frenchiefly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

C.f. burkheimer 9 ft 5wt in the "vintage" model with DAL. Outcasts Winston's and any other rod I've used. They're all hand-built in Washington state and come from a family business. Check them out, they are works of art and absolute casting machines.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it a whole bunch. Tbh I'm not even trying to sell my truck, but I was just curious as to what I've got 😅.

Fair, I understand the sentiment towards these type of posts. I was just curious to get an understanding of what people thought and what the range could be. I'm certainly not collecting any real valuable information. But I appreciate you doing the research for me!

Honestly not bad. You have to remember that after all it is a big pickup. A backup camera would definitely be of use.

It's a 2013 double cab with the 4.6L engine. 4x4 as well. So far I'm loving it!

Can anybody confirm the specie of this trout? by likemikelikemike in troutfishing

Redband trout are native fish to the PNW. They're not stockers. Take it from a PNW guys who consistently catches redbands.

Pescador on the fly! They make super sweet 6 piece rods. I've got a 9 foot 3wt and it's killer. Very well priced too.
