as most of our fly fishing is done in timber ,we roll cast ,a typical rod setup is a 6 to seven foot rod with 9 to 10 WT.DT/F line with a hand tied tapered leader not longer than four ft. starting with 12lb. working down to a 6 to 4 lb tippet.
Interesting setup. Are you using the Eagle Claw fiberglass rods?
