Tackle: A 9-foot 5-weight rod with a floating line is the best all-around choice for most sections of the Rapid River. A sink-tip can be helpful if you wish to fish streamers. Fluorocarbon leaders and tippet are important, as fish see a lot of flies. Large strike indicators are needed to fish a pair of flies and sufficient weight to get the flies down quickly in the fast-moving water. Flies should include smelt, minnow, and sculpin streamer patterns; mayfly and stonefly dries and nymphs; all stages of caddis in varying sizes and colors; as well as eggs and worm patterns.
