Fishing the small mountain trout streams for wild trout is one of the most rewarding forms of angling one can find. When you fish the Blue Ridge Mountains for brook trout, Montana’s Crazy Mountains for brown trout or the Smoky Mountains for rainbow trout you find that the challenge of going one on one with trout rising to sip naturals from the surface of the stream is very gratifying.

    You need to match your fly as closely as possible to the naturals on the water, use a very cautious approach and evaluate the stream currents around your feeding trout. Then, most of all, you must accurately cast your fly onto a dinner plate size target upstream of the trout in order to get a natural drift to him to catch him.

    This is where the Murray’s Mountain Trout Rod comes in. It really is most accurate and delicate short graphite rod I’ve ever found. When I first suggested such a rod to Larry Kenney, at the time one of the owners of Scott Rod Company, he thought it was a great idea and said he would get right on it and send me some test rods to fish and evaluate. This we did, but it took eleven months, many test rods, and dozens of telephone calls with suggested improvements before the final Murray’s Mountain Trout Rod evolved…..I pushed for more and more delicacy and fine point accuracy at close range.

    The great preference of this fine rod by many anglers all across the country attests to its performance.
