NL Wilson WoolyBlogger®

I have a Winston LT 5-Weight rod and it's probably the most versatile rod I own. I have used it to fish for Bass in North Carolina and Trout in Wyoming and Colorado. I love it. It's a five-piece rod, so I can take it anywhere. It's Medium-Fast action so I can comfortably use it to fish dries or nymphs. Streamers for Bass were even fun. It has a good, progressive taper so I can make close casts as easily and precisely as long-distance casts. Do other dry-fly-specific rods present the dry more delicately? Yes. Do other fast action rods cast farther more easily? Yes. But, if I were to own just one rod it would be my LT.
