What I use is a fly rod I bought at Big 5, breaks down to 7 pieces. I leave 
the reel and the last part of rod it connects to at home. Ive taped 2 metal 
pieces to the 1st section of rodl so that I can wrap my fly line like you 
would the line  at the bottom of a  flag pole. Ya peel off fly line anyway 
and then just a matter of adjusting your cast and dealing with the line 
after you pull in your fish  That hasn't been too much of a problem since  I 
only fished 4x in 10 weeks of hiking Ore. Wa. last summer. I use a piece of 
foam insulation for pipes to protect the rod. That and a few flies brings 
the total weight to about 7 oz.
This is the least used piece of gear I carry. Will I be taking it with me 
next year? You betcha. There is a pleasure I take in looking at a  river or 
lake bubbling with trout and  knowing I could fish it even if
I choose just to picture myself doing so, and hiking on up the trail with a 
smile on my face.

trout on a nymph from the shore. the 1 she kept weighed 9 1/2 #
