I live out here and I fish all these rivers out here and out of my expiernce u need more then one rod as the rivers change out here from size to flow. The Campbell even the fly fishing section is big enough u can't cast across if they open the dam the current is fast up there. The pink salmon this year were to big for my 6 weight switch I had to use my 8 weight Spey. Fishing the Campbell with a single handed rod u need a 10 foot 8 weight at least with a reel with a good drag system
U cannot fish out here with just one rod and be successful doesn't mean u can't catch fish
Rivers like Campbell u need a different rod from the quinsam or if u r beach fishing
Smaller rods kill fish every pound of fish rule of thumb one minute of playing him won't harm him usually
I foul hooked a few pinks in the tail this year, thank god I was using my Spey, a single handed smaller rod wouldn't have work
