Hello fellow chrome chasers,
Been fishing my whole life and have had lots of time single handing for trout, but would like to start throwing some flies at steelies. So I need to get a rod and don't have a whole lot to spend. I could do about 600 all in. So with that, am looking at the Echo DHII 6.5 package. Also am looking at a similar TFO Deer Creek setup. Any other recommendations? I will mainly be fishing for Winter Steelhead on rivers like the Grande Ronde or smaller… I know eventually I will need to get a 7 or 8 weight for the bigger steelhead, but thats not in the budget yet.
