[VFB] QUOTE FOR THE DAY

[Jimmy D. Moore]

"An angler perfectly equipped to fish for all species of trout dealt with in this book would need a minimum of six rods: a midge for the smaller streams, a 7 or 7.5' stick for slightly larger brooks and creeks, an 8-foot rod for wet and dry flies and nymphs on medium rivers, and 8.5-footer for the same waters when using a bucktail or streamer, a 9-footer for really large streams and lakes, and a 9.5-footer for some of the big steelhead rivers."

"Trout Fishing" by Joe Brooks (1972 Times Mirror)
