Default RE: Favorite trout set up.

My main Fly Rod is a Composite Development GHR 3 piece in 6 weight. A great all round rod for conditions here.
Reel an Ambassador.
Line: 7 weight forward floating line.
Tapered leader (6-8 feet long)
Flourocarbon tippet (4 pound.) 3-4 feet long
Then usually use two flys. A dry as indicator: Humpy, Elk hair, Royal wolf
2 foot dropper with a nymph on: Hare & Copper or a purple nymph
For the floater I use a largeish fly (10 or 12) for the nymph I go small (14-16)
Often in small streams or windy conditions, I use only a single nymph. Sometimes 2 nymphs and a foam indicator.
This rig has worked well for me.
I fish mainly small streams, but also big water and lakes.
