It's more a case of being able to limit my fishing than limiting my rods. As it stands now, the vast majority of the time I fish the Last Chance/Harriman Ranch stretch of the Henry's Fork -- no problem limiting the rods used there (8' for a 4 or 8' for a 5) altho' I waffle among 4 or 5 different ones just because I like them. If I go into the park and fish the Firehole and Gibbon, the same rods work, but occasionally I like something smaller (7'5' for a 5, 5'9" Orvis for a 4). The Madison below the lakes begs for an 8-1/2', but it often gets an 8-footer.

In short, I could probably get by with a couple of eight-footers, but where's the fuin in that? I have no plans to increase the stash at this point however.
