Call me unethical, non-traditional, whatever...I'm going with whatever works (aka Chuckn'Duck). I'll carry three rods on a float just to cover whatever comes up. Most of the time I resort to the 12 foot 7 wt and the BOBBER!!!! Proud member of "Spark's Bobber Brigade". Used the s.i method and my 11'3'' 6wt on Utah's Green River for some of the lunker browns that rarely get fished due to the DEEP slots and structure they inhabit and had excellent success. Its whatever fits the bill for the occassion.
