Going ultralight

When I was wondering what to do this year, I was looking for a different approach. I've fished bamboo only and graphite only. Why not go ultralight for a change?

So my next trip I'll be bringing along my aged (most of them more than 25 years old) but so delightful ultralight rods like the Tippet and Ultrafine.

These rods from Orvis are simply magic. Although full flexing, they are no whimpy rods. They will cast a double bead head nymph rig without any problem. But boy, these rods are a lot fun to fish. It's often mistaken that light rods can't handle big fish. It's pretty amazing how fast one can play a fish ready to be landed.
