After the move to Montana, it's looking like I'll probably scratch the steelhead itch on the Clearwater system more often than making the trip back to WA.
I've been reading about the utility of longer spey rods on the Clearwater, and am looking for some advice. The longest 2-hander I currently own is a 13 footer, and although I know it would be more than capable on any river I chose to fish it, I'm a gear junkie and like having specialized tools for specialized jobs.
So for those of you who have fished the Clearwater and other BIG river systems, any wisdom you can share regarding recommendations/do's/don'ts for a designated Clearwater rod? Thanks in advance!
