Small Streams & Fast Water Early season high water, causes small creeks to flow much faster than later in the year. Often at these times, weighted nymphs are the ticket to success, and it is helpful to have a small rod with enough backbone to punch out these small weighted flies. Also, for casting dries on windy days, a faster tempo casting cycle will keep the fly on the water more minutes of the day.

Small streams and medium-size spring creeks often challenge you to extend casts approaching 45 feet. Slightly longer rod lengths help make casting tasks and line control mends easier. Light lines in sizes # 3 and # 4 are the norm when the utmost in accuracy and presentation is needed, using flies from #14 down to #24, with 5x to 8x tippets.

Standing in the relative openness of large spring creeks or slow moving bodies of water exposes you to spooking fish. Longer range, soft presentation casts become a must under these conditions. Delicacy and accuracy are still at a premium, but there needs to be enough power to turn over longer leaders with a wide range of fly sizes. These same conditions are also found in early morning, fishing on ponds with trout sipping emergers.

When the wind picks up, take command on larger spring creeks with tighter loops, increased control, and more accurate casts. The slightly more powerful designs within the High Line Speed range deliver it all in 8 and 9-foot lengths with #4 and #5 lines, which are increasingly becoming the most dominant player in this environment.

Big dries, weighted flies, streamers, multi flies, long leaders, strike indicators, sink tips, split shot, are all buggers to cast, even without much wind. Add long casts from float tubes and that's why you need some extra horsepower. And should all the stars and mayflies align, and the conditions get calm, you'll want fine diameter tips that can still protect light tippets and offer trout fishing versatility.

Pros: I have the 9ft 4wt HLS it is a great all around trout rod make dry flies land softly on the surface and also cast the beadhead stone flies with a trailer fly with little effort. when you make a cast it just feels good thats all I am trying to say. |
 |
 |
Cons: this rod has a narrow grip so if you can plam a full size basketball the grip might bother you a little bit. |

Pros: My opinion of the GLX Streamdance is , that it is AWESOME! I learned to fly-fish on a St. Croix a few years ago. I heard stories about G.Loomis Rods, but never fished with one. I bought my GLX Streamdance High Line Speed 6wt, last summer. The Streamdance is a Beautiful rod, and I would recomend it to anyone. Especially anyone who Fly-Fishes!!! The Streamdance, will lay your bug down the water just as smooth as glass. The Streamdance will also launch your fly to unbelievable distances effortlessly. I highly recomend,(G.Loomis Streamdance GLX) |
