Found one earlier this morning. Can't wait to string it up. What line would you recommend? When I nymph I fish a really long leader so fly line isn't a factor. Would like to throw some dries/emerges as well.
A 2 or 3 wt. works fine. I have one set up with a DT 2 wt. and the other that I use for Euro nymphing has a 10' leader section followed by 25' of 15# amnesia attached to a floating running line used for shooting heads. Even set up like this I can "cast" a dry fly about 20'. It is a strong rod and for me handles 16" to 20" trout almost every day yet a small gill still puts a big fight into your hands. You will love it.
