My local river is so overgrown in places it's more akin to the Burmese jungle than glorious Angus, breadbasket of Scotland and home to more oracles than Delphi.
A very useful rod would very short, mid auctioned about 6 foot 2 or 3 weight. Is such a thing available?
There's a Shakespeare Agility 2 Rise Fly Rod 6ft 3 weight.

That sounds interesting thanks
Just ordered one on Amazon. £42. Could have got it a few quid cheaper elsewhere, but I get free delivery with Amazon Prime. Plus if it's shit I can send it back. :lol: Cheap enough too that I don't have worry if it break it in the jungle.
I'll have it on Wednesday - just in time for the Furst Min. opening the Scottish fishing season. :lol:
Hardy did/done a rod called the Demon in 6ft and I'm positive it was a 2 weight. It's at least ten years old now so should be pretty cheap if you find one...

Treat yourself Fred :8)
I'd be too worried I broke it. :lol:
Get yourself a proper old style hazel 6 foot wand out the bankside thickets. Time to harvest a dozen before the growth gets too thick. Then you can test the action on your dozen wands and be fully ready with matching line labelling for when you will be finally sprung loose for angling action.
