Apr 19, 2023 · Apr 19, 2023. #1. I live in Florida (These days) but I want to go up to the Nantahala and camp along the river and fly fish by wading.

As I said, the area has to be shallow enough to wade but still have room to cast, and an area with some trout.
FL. Sep 19, 2021. #4. Welcome to the forum tiggbigms252 - Not sure what your budget may be, but for a glass creek rod I'd recommend the Epic 370 or 476. I fish the Epic 476 and love it.

Scott: G2 in #2, #3 and #4 in 7'7" and 8'4". The 7'7" 2wt and 8'4" 3wt are superstars in this series.
