Show me your backpacking fishing set up

I'm gonna be hiking in Glacier National this fall and was debating bringing a fishing rod since we are staying on lakes 4/6 nights we're there. What set-ups do you run? Trying to go packable and somewhat lightweight.

I have been known to make fun of tenkara but it does make for a small and light setup. I take one sometimes when I hike to an alpine lake. Of course it depends on what size lakes/streams, type and size of fish etc. never been where you are going.

Are you talking fly fishing or spin fishing? You can get some great 7 pcs flyrods and full foam fly boxes that weigh next to nothing.
