CHOICE AND USE OF THE FLY-ROD
THE manner in which the rod should be fitted, or mounted, being determined, we have next to consider its length and weight. These questions are largely ones of locality and the average size of trout in the waters to be fished. In this matter, however, anglers are quite apt to be extremists, some favoring very light rods and others rods rather heavy. We will take it for granted that, at present, you do not care to buy more than one rod, since, if the rod is a good one, it will cost quite a bit; and, with this in mind, we will try to choose the best weight and length of rod for practically all-round trout fly fishing. You cannot be too careful in this regard; for, no matter how satisfactory the rod may otherwise be, if you take a dislike to its weight or length, or if actual use of the rod proves that it is unsuitable to your favorite trout stream, you are at once in the market for a new rod. Without doubt there is a certain pleasure in picking up new tackle; but beyond a fixed point — which may be designated in dollars and cents — the pleasure ceases abruptly. Every man will have his own idea as to a reasonable limitation of his investment in tackle, but it is a matter that all of us are bound to keep in mind.
