[QUOTE="Hunter5117, post: 137523, member: 799"] MrE, thanks for the rundown. I have spent a good deal of time in the past 3 years flailing the water, mostly for bass and panfish in the local small streams that are within a short walk or at most a 5-10 minute drive from our house. I originally started out with a 7wt setup but quickly figured out that it was much too heavy for most of the fish I encounter, so bought a 5wt and then a 3. Wife gave me a nice 4wt Redington for Christmas but I haven't bought a reel and got it rigged out yet. As for reels, I have a couple of the Lamson reels and a couple of cheapies, I like the Lamsons a lot and they are reasonably priced and will likely get another for the new rod. About half the fish I catch are on wooly buggars in a variety of sizes from 8 to 12 mostly. I have tried floating a few trout flies and occasionally a bluegill will come up and strike it but the wet flies are much more reliable for the fish I normally find. Hoping to find time to branch out to some of the local trout waters, Missouri has some decent trout fishing but I have to make a pretty good drive to get to it. [/QUOTE]
