Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: which rod for the shenandoah?

Kudos to you for being able to throw that big of a fly in a 4wt. A 2/0 weighted clouser isn't easy to throw on a 6. What size range were your fish generally? The post couple years on the doah I've seen a 12-14 inch average smallie with a few 16-18 inches each trip, and always a 20+ fish, although usually a largemouth. I couldn't image battling one of those on a four.

Ended up going with the 4 wt.  I could throw 2/0 clousers with it just fine.  Caught a bunch of fish, most of them were small.  I can't imagine trying to use an 8 weight there as it seems like the vast majority of the fish are on the small side.  Doesn't seem like it would be much fun at all if you caught them with an 8.

Floating the south fork this weekend and was wondering which rod people would use.  I have a 9 ft 4wt and a 9 ft 8wt to chose from.  Unfortunately I broke my 6 weight on the potomac a couple weeks ago so am stuck choosing between a rod that is probably a tad undergunned vs a rod that is a tad overgunned.
