Winston BIIt 7'6" 3wt

There are a few small streams in Northern New Mexico that are open enough for a medium to long cast. After a few years of fishing these waters, I have found a 7'6" 3wt the best size of rod to play with their 8" to 13" trout...with an occasional 15" fish to the net. And, this is my absolute favorite rod for these types of streams.

Boron IIt 7'6" 3wt

Action: Medium

Sections: 4-Piece

Ferrules: Sleeve Over

Material: Boron/Graphite

Reel Seat: Nickel Silver/Elder

Application: Technical Dry Fly

Series Years: 2007 – 2013

The Boron IIt, the first Winston to incorporate higher modulus graphite with a light application of Boron composite into Winston’s celebrated light line trout tapers, achieved a celebrated, even biblical reputation among dry fly enthusiasts.

These beautiful, extremely lightweight rods (I have them in 3, 4, and 5wt) are a perfect choice for making fly presentations to selective trout. Think size 22 flies, 7x tippet, gin clear water and fish that will spook at your shadow.

I pair this rod with a Bauer SST3 reel and Winston Energy WF3F fly line...a great combo!!!
