    2X leader or equivalent.  
    #12-18 eggs and nymphs.
    #8-12 buggers
    Some lead between you and those flies...generally within 6-30" of them, depending on condition.
     
    If you're only using it for Erie tribs, you don't even need to practice, just flop around the last few feet of line.

    Shes a beautie , yer gonna like the way you look---I guarantee it !
     
    A simple roll cast is all you will need for the Erie tribs. But it cant hurt to practice the motions if you want to let it fly a long way if your going to hit open waters.
     
    Good luck and enjoy your new found treasure

    It's such a nice rod, even I could through all the fly line off it... LOL

    Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
