Double L Fly Rod Outfits, Small Stream

A favorite pastime of Maine fishermen is hiking into small, remote streams and ponds in search of native wild brook trout. You don't need long, fast-action fly rods for this kind of fishing; shorter, suppler rods are the weapons of choice. These shorter, 3- and 4-weight rods are perfect for pocket water and small stream and rivers. They have a supple action but have enough backbone to cast big hoppers and other large dry flies.
