Buy a rainshadow fly rod blank, about 7 feet, 3 weight and buy a spinning reel seat, cork, and guides, and put it together.  You'll love it.  Oh make sure it's a 5 piece blank for portability.  Pm me if you want more info.  How was the fishing and access?  I've always wanted to fly fish that lake but never made the trek.

the fishing was crazy good(worms and spiners),we were the first ones in there as far as i know,typicaly we go in from the top of the 3000 line but the snow line is about 7miles from the lake..so we went to plan b an hiked acrossed the mudflow from coldwater lake..it was a great adventure but extremly dangerouse geting across toutles north fork,prolly about three hours one way hike..but like i said the fishing was great,ive been there dozens of times now and this is looking to be a pretty good year

I have a telescopic pole that was given to me by my grandpa. It is pretty sensative, and it was strong enough to catch a king out of a river with 10 lb. test  :tup:

It has a sticker on it that says expander. That is all that I know. It fits into a backpack great! Just look for a telescopic pole at a sporting goods store.
