Weird title I know. On my upcoming trip I will have the opportunity to fly fish some deeper water then I am used to. I am comfortable in typical water 1'-6' with about anything I want to throw. 10'-20' I have never done. I am considering taking a spinning rod because the middle of nowhere Alaska is not the time to find out I cant get to the depth. So I would like to get a packable spinning rod as back up for the fly rod. No problem getting spoons and spinners in the deeper water. I am looking at the Daiwa Wilderness rod. Anyone have any experience with it?
Or thoughts on fly fishing deeper water with Dolly Llama or similar. Perhaps I am over thinking it. I can floss with the best of them with weight added but wasn't thinking I would be using weight. Flossing is more about technique then presentation. I will not be flossing here so I am not sure if the weight will be an issue.
