« on: August 26, 2005, 01:17:39 AM »
Hey guys,,,,after reading all of these posts on pinks,,I am considering pulling out my 6 weight fly rod  for the Vedder.   Is this rod suitable?   And yes I know,,pinks are closed there.

Sorry not,,I'm not aware of the talk or familiar with bantam 50.  
I gather that the rod I have is sufficient,,so consider this post finished.
