What's your favorite Penns Creek rod?

[kbobb]

Specifically thinking about the month of May when flies can range from 16/18 up to the big drakes and coffin flies? Also dry/droppers are in play. There is usually some higher water so I find my back to the bank a lot with not much room for back casts and the fish are invariably rising on the far bank.

One rod only please - length and line weight too.

Thanks for playing!

Dear kbobb,

Though my successful Penns trips are few in number they all have been accomplished with a 9-foot rod in either 4wt or 5wt. I've tossed streamer and buggers on a 6wt but have never bothered with anything lighter than a 4wt.

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂

How to Fish One Fly Rod for Everything -- Dries, Streamers, Nymphs and Wets (VIDEO)

I use one fly rod for everything. It doesn’t matter if I’m fishing dry flies, nymphs, wet flies or streamers, the rod I leave the truck with is the rod I’m using all day.

I use my 10' TFO Blue Ribbon more than any other rod on Penns. But I'll use why rod on that stream, preferably at least 9' in length.

9' 5wt. WF6 line (rod just performs better when overloaded)
