Lamson Fly
Anyone try using an ultralight Fly Rod combo, if so how do you like it?
I just built
a Cabela's SLi 8'6" 5wt (rod blank is 1.39 oz)using recoil single foot guides and attached a new Lamson-Waterworks ULA p.2 reel (2.9 oz). This is by far the lightest combo I've ever used - The rod casts beautifully, as if there is no effort,
shadow casting, if you will. When I hooked my first trout (a 12" brown) it felt like it was attached by a silken thread. I really like
the feel of it and I had no arm fatigue at the end of the day.
Anyone else try an ultra-lite ? Do you like them ?
In NE PA, Streams 40-50 ft wide
I realize that a 5wt is medium wt, what I was referring to was the lightness of the outfit. The rod is feather light even though it is a 5 wt and the reel is the lightest you can buy.
Lightest rig I've ever used is a 4-wt. I find I can't boom casts out nearly as far with it -- even with a double haul -- as I can with heavier rigs, so it is better for smaller streams, and requires more stealth in approaching wary trout.
Requires more touch to land a hooked fish, too, as you're using lighter everything. But I agree -- easier on the arm, and a much more intimate feel to the action.
I've seen some guys fishing even lighter rigs (~2-wt?) on my favorite local stream here in Maryland, but never tried 'em myself.
Where are you using yours?
