For both the trout and smallmouth floats we recommend 9 foot, 6-7 weight rods. We throw some large flies, but more importantly we have larger fish on these trips and having a larger rods helps set the hook easier. All flies are included on our trips.You are welcome to use our equipment on floats too. We fish R.L. Winston Rods. For leaders, we use 3x-0x leaders. Leaders are not included on your float so its a good idea to get a few.

The amount of fish you catch really depends on the time of year, what species of fish you are trying to catch, which float you do, weather, flows and how skilled of an angler you are. For trout floats you can expect 10-50 fish depending on the factors listed above. For smallmouth floats, you can expect to catch 20-120 fish per float. The size of fish will also vary on those factors but we do specialize in targeting larger Trout and Smallmouth Bass.
