Re: Ross CLA

Casey,

Somehow I missed you wanted a 5wt for Salmon/Steelhead. You didn't ask but a 5wt is not a good choice for Salmon/Steelhead. You need to move up to at least a 7wt and I would prefer an 8wt. You can land a 15lb Steelhead or Salmon on a 5wt but you won't have much control of the fish. The big problem is you can't cast the big heavy flies you need for these fish. You will be limited in the wind and it will just not be fun. It is simply a matter of using the right tool for the job.

Frank
