A belated "welcome aboard" Yikes. If you're a small stream enthusiast, this is the place for you.

You should absolutely take it! I grew up fishing on 9-12 foot cane poles. In fact, I kept using it into my early teens because I was so much more efficient with it than an actual fly rod and reel. The water I fished rarely required a "cast" of longer than 15-20 feet, so I simply tied on so...
