She's restricted to G Loomis when fly fishing due to the Shimano thing so the gear is $$$$ but some pretty impressive results. Both these fish taken on egg pattern and rod was NRX 9" 6wt

Wow Ryan,

Those are some nice jacks and kudos to whoever took those pics. These pics can go on a fishing mag cover page. Your sister is talented.

Yeah consensus is for 6wt so its going to be it
