I am looking for a 6 wt that would be able to present dry flies or dry dropper in close as well as tossing a streamer as large as a slumpbuster in wind. I am considering a ********* Rod Co. Western Glass or Orvis Superfine Glass. Any thoughts you all may have will be much appreciated.

I'm thinking you could pull that off cheaply and comfortably with a vintage Fenwick FF806 and two different lines to use with it...

I have an Orvis Superfine Glass 8' 6" six weight. It will certainly do what you want and I have owned a couple of older Phillipson 8' 2 pc. six weight rods that would work as well.

I say don't overthink it.

If you can afford a Western Glass, then that's definitely what I'd get.
If that's too heavy a lift, financially, then get the Superfine. (And then save up and get a Western Glass, too! )
The good news is, either choice is going to mean lots of fun and lots of fish! You can't go wrong with either one!

But know this: you only live once. If fly fishing is your thing, then you should definitely own a custom rod, at least once in your life, if you can.
In addition, Dusty is a standup guy, an honorable man, runs a great business putting out a great product, and even moreso, both he and Chris Barclay, who also builds great rods and is a great guy (according to Stella, his erstwhile 4-legged companion!! ), contribute to both this board and the sport by hosting conclaves from time to time. To the extent that my finances permit me to patronize small, independent rod builders, I opt to do that, assuming they put out a quality product, and both of those guys do!

The beauty of your dilemma is, there is no bad answer!

I too looked for a do it all 6wt .
I wanted a rod that would throw dries , double nymph rigs, indicator rig ,streamers, and dry droppers . I wanted a rod that would handle landlocked salmon to tailwater browns and bows on the upper Connecticut River . I knew I wanted a 9’ rod that was light in hand and had to be able to protect light tippet . After talking with Dusty I ended up ordering one of his ys glass 9’ 6wt blanks And built it out . I am so happy with this rod . It has done everything I wanted a rod to do and more . I believe this is the best all around rod for the northeast , at least for me. I have landed two land locks and a few nice lake run browns , and some huge suckers . The blank never lets you down from casting, mending and back bone to land fish . I have found my new fishing partner that will be with me every trip.

Man, my Steffen 8' 5/6 does everything that it sounds like you're asking of a 6wt.....and then some.

I reviewed my recommendations above and agree with springer on this one. Among those I mentioned, this would be my top choice. It is the best all-round rod at the most affordable price today. The Browning Silaflex 7'6" 6 wt rods include 222975 that has a metal ferrule, the 322975 that has a glass ferrule, and the 022975 that has a sleeved glass ferrule and is very light.

The earlier models have the worlds sturdiest reel seat and the grips tend to be large until the later years, but they are terrific rods.

While I cannot say this for sure, a guy who should know told me that the Brownings were made of S glass, versus E glass like their competitors. What I can confirm is that Browning Silaflex rods cost $60 back in the day (well beyond my paper-route finances) when Fenwicks sold for $30.

^^^^ This ^^^^

To the fine list of 6 wts already mentioned, I would add a Fenwick FF75 or FF75-4. A slower (but not slow) action than many of the rods listed so far, if that action fits your needs.
And if you can find one, the FF70-4 is an extraordinary short 6 wt IMHO.

yeah, I was going to chime in with exactly what Trev said.

I suspect most any of the rods mentioned above would do the job, with a few different line and leader options depending on what you're doing. My only thought is that if I were looking for a "do it all" 6wt, I'd go with one of the modern 8'6" choices because I think it's more versatile than 7'6" or even 8', and I think the modern 8'6" 6wts rods are generally better than the vintage 8'6" rods. 8' and below I think the vintage rods are just as good.

I use my Epic 686 as described above, with a Rio Trout LT when I need to fish really light, the Epic Glassline if I need to fish bigger stuff, Rio Smallmouth line for bass from a boat, and a 200gr Commando Smooth skagit setup if I really want to push bigger stuff.

(It's possible I've spent way too much $$$ on lines...)

My 8'3" Tom Morgan 'Streamer Special' seems to do all those things very well, although I have not tried any of the other rods and see no need to do so.

This sounds like a contradiction. Are you sure you want to go this path rather than a lighter weight rod for dries and (smaller) nymphs and a stouter rod for streamers?

For streamers you could go for a less fancy rod and save up for a nicer lighter rod. Say a Cabela's (or vintage used rod) for a 6 weight and a nice custom built rod by one of the fine builders?

Sounds like a good choice. Sure, if fishing dries I might want a lighter line, and if streamers, a heavier one, but it’s awkward to take two rods fishing, especially if covering terrain, and a 6wt is a good versatile compromise.
