The bigger size corkies are what I use just slide it on the leader and peg it with a tooth pick. I used to use the brighter colored one so I could see them like the orange or red ones I like to use the ones that are about the size of a nickel! Good luck

All this talk about fly fishing sounds fun. Would make for great hiking/backcountry hiking equipment to, as to everything is so small and light.

Another option for you Smossy is a pack rod and reel.  Also very compact and light.

Head over to vantage area and hit Nunnaly, Lenore and Lenice with a black wooly booger. Let it sink a little and start stripping it in and let the fun begin.

Here's a rod, the 2nd link is a nice case for it.  Use any small real you have.  Your set.

Fly fishermen call bobbers strike indicators. Let's get that straight before we get too much further.

Don't do that unless you want all your stuff stolen out of your car while you are fishing.

Hey Smossy, if you are really interested in High Lakes backcountry fishing check out the High-Laker's.  It's an awesome group.  There quite a bit of information to learn from some of the members.  There's also a pretty nifty lake database for high-lakes including photos and descriptions.  Send me a PM if you want the details.  I know at least one other guy on this forum is a member.

As far as the Eagle Claw rod/pole advertised above.  I can't say I'm a really big fan.  I own one and never use it.  It's not really a very good fly rod or spin-casting rod. 

The biggest problem with fly rods and the backcountry is that they are so long.  You want one to be at a minimum 4 pieces to or else you get caught up on brush all the time if you are going cross-country like I am. 

A good option is the Cabela's stowaway Fly Rod.  I'm looking to buy one myself because you can get them in 5-7 pieces.  A number of my friends have highly suggested them.
