Personally, I use 5'6" or 6' UL rods for that reason - a TFO and a St Croix are my go-to rods and a Diawa Presso 5'6" pack rod for those times when I can't decide whether I'm going to spin or fly fish and am hiking in a ways.So, I’m seeing a lot of fairly long rods being recommended for small streams. Does this work ok when there’s a lot of side and overhead vegetation?

Trout magnets work great when the water is gin clear and low...I have to hike thru a lot of brush where I fish...Ugly stick UL elite, shimano sahara 1000, 2lb test.Anybody have good luck with Trout Magnets? I've caught a million panfish on them and would think they'd work based on the name.. I've never even made a cast in trout waters, but am going to give it a go next week on my scouting trip.
Also how are you guys cooking them on an ultralight backpacking stove? Thinking about picking up a little titanium frying pan and a heat diffuser but wondering what others do
Gutted, threaded on a stick, and propped by a fire. I hate trying to clean grease in the backcountry, and it always feels like a bear magnet.Also how are you guys cooking them on an ultralight backpacking stove?
