But for those who fish small streams, that quest may have just come to an end with the Epic 476 4 weight fiberglass fly rod, a rod that has recently been honoured as the "Best Small Stream Fly Rod" by Field and Stream Magazine
We always make a habit of returning to the spot before the end of the session and quite often come up trumps
So, I got to watch him catch all of his weight the first day, and I ended my Scope period with 16 pounds. On Day 2, he flubbed the Scope period again, and he only had 14 pounds when he turned his graph off, after staying up north instead of making the run
For your first reel, budget $100-$200 for quality that will last and perform reliably
however, the night period is my favourite time to test my luck
The snail clad sleeve still a tool to brush the snot on those frosty winter morns and my choice of rod still hewn on Australian soil
