Awesome thanks! I'll get the 2wt and give it a whirl. And some flip flops too;v)

Dustin, go for a 2 weight you will love it!!!!! I have a 6',8' and 2- 10' 2 weights!!!!!!! I fish EXCLUSIVELY for BLUEGILL and their COUSINS!!!!! Occasionally I have to put up with bass and a 2 weight has a LOT MORE BACKBONE than what people think!!!!!!!! Do not be AFRAID of it!!!!!!!After using 2 weight and 3 weight finesse rods any thing bigger feels like I am CASTING A TREE!!!!!!

Dustin, I normally use weighted flies, weight with bead chain eyes and /or lead free wire To get my flies down!!! Most of my flies are from size 10 to 8 2xl, on a intermediate sinking fly line!!!! As for poppers I use mostly flipfloppers!!!!! http://bigbluegill.com/group/flytyingandspecificinstructionsonly/fo...

   As for pictures on the water I have a second hand, well aleast second hand sony cybe shot camera, of which the button for changing you shot, such as distance, close up, etc. cannot be changed there for it is always set on twilight, and sometimes it flashes sometimes it don't!!!!! I DO NOT KNOW why it does what it does!!!!!

I summation I guess it is just a good little camera with no adjustments and I am REALLY PHOTOGENIC!!!! HAHA!!!!!

Greg great pictures and fish amigo! Two questions,

1. How big of a fly/popper can the 2 wt handle? I am looking at a 2-3wt. But only have experience with 4 and 5 wt.

2. How are you getting such great on the water pics?
