Stronger than I expected.
I used this rod for the first time yesterday.
My plan was to do some small-water, small-trout fishing first, then go to a different larger river for some larger fish.
I didn't catch anything in the small river, but I wanted to try this rod on some real fish. So, I continued to use it on the bigger river.
It was a little windy, so the 2 wt line and rod took some effort to land a fly where I wanted, but I found I got used to it pretty quickly.
The first fish I hooked was a 1 1/2 lb. brown trout. It put a lot of bend in the rod, but the rod handled it fine. And, it's kind of fun to work a relatively large (for NH) trout on such a short, light rod.
I continued to use the rod all day. Probably caught 20 trout of varying size, the best being 12-13 inch browns and rainbows.
Windy conditions make casting this light rig a challenge, but it was fun, nonetheless.
