Thread: A small gill test trip

Spent a little over an hour at lake Kedron this morning throwing rubber legged spiders on my 6’ 2wt TFO Signature 1 six foot ultralight flyrod, teamed up with my Orvis Battenkill 1 .
A test run of sort .
I was comparing graphite to glass in a 6’ 2wt rod catching small gills .
It passed the test .
The little rod made accurate short casts and would throw the size 12 spider over 50’ if I needed it to .
I love glass , but I like any rod that will give me a nice bend with the smaller fish . And will put my fly where I want it .
I’m thinking there may be a St Croix Mojo Trout in a 2wt 6’ in my future .
I’ve read some good reviews on them .
I’m also looking at the 6’ 2wt Imperial, but it’s getting a little out of what I prefer to spend on a new stick . And from what I’ve read , the Mojo is just as sweet of a ultralight flyrod.
I caught twenty three small gills this morning.
The largest and best fighter was a small redear .
