Tackle: A 9-foot 5-weight rod with a floating line is your best bet for the East Outlet most of the time. If you want to fish streamers, a 9-foot 6-weight with a fast-sinking sink-tip is your best option. Dry-fly fishing is best done with a 9-foot 4-weight, as you may need to drop to 6X to effectively fish smaller patterns such as BWOs. While rods longer than 9 feet can work—especially for nymphing—rods shorter than 9 feet are not practical. Strike indicators should be large enough to float two flies and added weight. Flies should include smelt patterns and Woolly Buggers, and all stages of mayflies, stoneflies, and caddis in a variety of sizes and colors.
