It is a versatile weight for fishing in other freshwater environments, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The heavier rod will helps further and helps cast in windy conditions. It is also best when using larger streamers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is also a good weight for brook trout fishing from watercraft.

It is suitable for casting decent-sized dry flies and strong enough to target a Brook Trout up to 18 inches. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For a dry \/ dropper rig, I use a 4-weight rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Weight For Nymphing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I nymph a lot, so I want a longer rod in the 10- to 11-foot range. a 4-weight is best when targeting hefty Brook Trout in big, fast-flowing rivers. The Hardy Ultralite 10 Foot 3 Weight is an excellent choice for most rivers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, many of the large trout you see on this website that are over 24 inches were caught on my 10 foot 2 weight, and 10 foot 3 weight fly rods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Brook Trout <strong>Rod<\/strong> For Streamer Fishing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Streamer fishing is one of my favorite methods for fishing large trout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A 5-weight or 6-weight rod is my preferred choice when throwing streamers into wide-open big rivers with the potential for higher winds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 5-weight is plenty for streamers, however, if the brook trout are very big and I am throwing very large streamers with sink tips or sinking lines, then a 6-weight fly rod is a better option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Match that up with my <a href=\"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/best-streamers-for-trout\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"12327\">most effective streamer flies for trout<\/a> and you are good to go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Weight For Size Of Fish<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The size of the brook trout will also determine the right weight fly rod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As an example, the small brook trout found in the spring creeks of Pennsylvania require a smaller rod, but when fishing <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/lRPxzkYX80k\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">northern Ontario<\/a> or Northern Quebec where the average brook trout is 4 to 6 pounds, I use a heavier rod.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Weight Fly Rod For Small Brook Trout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Small stream Brook Trout angling usually yields smaller fish. Therefore, a 2-4 weight rod will do just fine. The most popular choice among experienced Brook Trout anglers is a 3-weight rod.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What Weight Fly Rod For Big Brook Trout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For larger rivers and big Brook Trout over 19 inches, I recommend a 9-foot, 5-weight medium-action &#8220;trout rod.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tight Lines<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Graham<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The right weight fly rod for brook trout will depend on&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14482,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_kad_blocks_custom_css":"","_kad_blocks_head_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_body_custom_js":"","_kad_blocks_footer_custom_js":"","_kad_post_transparent":"","_kad_post_title":"","_kad_post_layout":"","_kad_post_sidebar_id":"","_kad_post_content_style":"","_kad_post_vertical_padding":"","_kad_post_feature":"","_kad_post_feature_position":"","_kad_post_header":false,"_kad_post_footer":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"taxonomy_info":{"category":[{"value":6,"label":"Fly Fishing Tips And Advice"}]},"featured_image_src_large":["https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/Brook-Trout-Fishing-Jordan-Pocket-Images-450x-min.jpg",450,338,false],"author_info":{"display_name":"Graham - River Guide \/ Instructor","author_link":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/author\/nottydriftergmail-com\/"},"comment_info":0,"category_info":[{"term_id":6,"name":"Fly Fishing Tips And Advice","slug":"fly-fishing-tips","term_group":0,"term_taxonomy_id":6,"taxonomy":"category","description":"All the tips and advice about fly fishing on this website come from professional river guides that are experts in fly fishing.","parent":0,"count":47,"filter":"raw","cat_ID":6,"category_count":47,"category_description":"All the tips and advice about fly fishing on this website come from professional river guides that are experts in fly fishing.","cat_name":"Fly Fishing Tips And Advice","category_nicename":"fly-fishing-tips","category_parent":0}],"tag_info":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7740"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7740"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7740\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":20321,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7740\/revisions\/20321"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/14482"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7740"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7740"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7740"},{"taxonomy":"table_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/troutandsteelhead.net\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/table_tags?post=7740"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
