"Trout Bum" in my library-great read, his nomadic lifestye brings to mind Bodio's writings on how much $ he has spent inj his gun trading search for the "perfect" shotgun. Ainj't no such thing-- But my all-time favorite one fly rod for trout- my pre-fire Leonard 49- 7&1/2ft.- 3/2 for 5 wt. with LHW Bogdan Trout reel-- for steelhead- My Payne 3/2 for 7 wt. Hardy Perfect LHW- 8&1/2 ft. RWTF
