Hello from Scotland

Hi

I started fishing as a kid with my dad and when he got out of it so did i but not i have returned to it in the last couple of years. Im amazed as what I have remembered and what it is possible to forget in such a short time. I fish the Lochs that I can and some stocked ponds too. I am being helped back in buy a couple of friend who fish for trout and the odd salmon. I would like to try some small stream fishing but I am unsure at the moment of how many small stream are in my area. I know the location of a few but not the quality or quantity of fish they contain.

I look forward to being able to look for advice and tap the knowledge of other members across the country and globe.

What weight rod and line to people use for fishing small streams?

Welcome to smallstreams Pete! For me, a three or four weight rod in the 7.5-8' range works well in my local streams.
