The FS7235 is a 5 piece rod and packs down to 18" if you plan on doing some hiking. The shopping is half the fun.

In 2024 dollars that comes out to $717-755. A shop that guides the Yellowstone lists a float day as $795 for 2024.

I've been in this area for quite a while, and there is nothing even vaguely comparable to what you will find on the East side of the state, Idaho, Montana, etc, etc. Some activity in lakes, but rivers with good populations of trout are unfortunately somewhat hard to come by. All, I've enjoyed reading the forum over the past few days and decided to register and see if you all didn't mind sending some advice my way.

Houston. Jun 25, 2012. #2. Take I-45 south to Galveston till you hit Sea Wall, then left (east).

Welcome to the forum tiggbigms252 - Not sure what your budget may be, but for a glass creek rod I'd recommend the Epic 370 or 476. I fish the Epic 476 and love it.

Always wanted to try a click/pawl reel and this rod will be used strictly for trout on smaller streams so I think this might be a perfect combo. It is the lightest reel made that I know of.
