[QUOTE="sweeney, post: 296074, member: 453"] I don't remember exactly for sure it was 15 years since I have last fly fished but I think it was a 9 foot 7 or 8 wt orvis rod we bought it at cabelas but we also had a 5 wt 8.5ft cabelas brand too and some old fiberglass thing that worked better for moving cows than fishing. I usually used a 4-8lb leader depending on the fly hook size, we tied a lot of our own stuff using #4-8 hooks in nymph and caddis style along with streamers at the race. We tied almost all of ours from pheasant/grouse feathers and deer tails and horse hair. One of the rods came with a bunch of smaller flies im guessing #10-14 and we had bought a few from a shop on a trip to estes park once, and we mimicked a yelowstone nymph, woolybuggers, and other caddis flys. I broke more flies off casting than fish did I know that much. [/QUOTE]
