I want to incorporate some fishing into my backpack trips this summer. I am in Colorado where fly fishing rules, but I have all of the fly gear. I am looking at picking up some new spinning equipment for when we hike up to little lakes. My wife also can't fly fish and doesn't care to learn, so if I take spinning equipment only it will cut down on a bunch of crap I would have to carry.
I need advice/info on your rod and reel combos, cases and ways of transport, and what other tackle you carry with you. I'm looking for stuff that's packable and light that I can last to my pack, but I don't want to lose functionality by going with some telescoping rod that can't fling a silver spoon more than 10 yards.
