hey fellow feather fishers. I am planning on picking up a new rod and maybe even a new reel this summer. I want a rod that will be "perfect" for fishing high alpine areas and doing some serious back pack time. When backpacking I spend most of my time fishing small lakes and streams, I prefer top water "doesnt everyone?" but I do occasionally get sub-surface usually using buggers or smaller nymphs. I am a top water guy though, If they are eating off the top I am there. I would like to hear some more seasoned advice for what type of rod and reel I should look into. and perhaps there price range.
This rod I am going to purchase will be a specific packing rod, and will most likely not see anything over 5 pound.
along with a new rod and reel, line will come into question as well. What would be the recomended tackle for a very light weight set up?
Thanks for any info and advice you can sling my way, I appreciate anytips that could help better my decision.
