What I meant by a little too heavy was that the actual weight of the rod will take a toll on anyone who cast it all day. Ten years ago, at age 68, I caught & released 66 salmon over a four-day period, and I was completely exhausted at the end of the fourth day. Not only was it the weight of the rod but also the fight of the heavy fish in fast-moving water. The fly that I was using, was a little size 10 freshwater shrimp with a little juice on it.
