For any small stream trout fishing in Virginia, I recommend a 3-weight rod. The St. Croix Imperial 6'6" 3-weight comes in 2 pieces and is delicate enough to throw drys and nymphs down to size 20.
Outfit includes:
- St. Croix Imperial 6'6" 3-weight 2pc fly rod with case and 15 year warranty
- Orvis Battenkill Disc II Reel
- Scientific Anglers Frequency Boost WF-3-F fly line
- backing
