Well, Bobbike did you get to the creek and fish?
Yes, the 9 wt. fly rod is a little big for the trout, but in a big wind it will get you to the water. Note I use a 6wt. for stripers at the creek all the time. So if you are looking to fish the creek a lot I would think about a liter weight rod. Saltydog should be able to "hook" you up with one. If you are not looking for a fly rod than may I suggest that you take a lite spinning rod with some 6 to 12 lb. test line. At the end of your spinning line add a small slide weight then a swivel.At the end of the swivel tie on your 6 to 9 foot leader and the fly of your choice. Now you are Carolina spin/fly fishing. Throw the line up stream of the flowing current and let the fly swim down current mend line as it passes you and hold on for the fish. I hope this help you out the next time you fish the creek. Tight lines and "GET YOUR BACKING WET" from the KID.
