So I'm starting to save up for a new fly rod to use for salmon and steelhead - I was wondering if anybody has advice based on what they use and like. I fish the Salmon River in NY a lot.
First off, I'm looking at either a 7 or 8wt. Is one better or more versatile than the other, keeping in mind that I want to use it for both salmon and steel? 9', 9'6", or 10'
Cost is an issue, but I can work overtime hours if it helps get me into something I really want
Most important thing to me is to find something I'm going to really enjoy and hold on to for a number of years without wanting or needing to replace it.
Any thoughts or advice are much appreciated, thanks!
