Below you will find a chart to show
how much your fish weighs in
relation to its length. This chart
is a great addition to your fishing
gear. If you use it, your stories
will become that much more
believable. I know I’ve personally
had many people who have to me,
“Yeah, yesterday I caught a 4 pound
Rainbow on that trout bait I was
telling you about.” And you just
know by looking at the person that
they wouldn’t know a four pound
Rainbow from a 16 inch Brown.
Now if you had given them a copy of
the LTW chart from JRWfishing.com it
would be a different story. The
other interesting thing that I
learned was that back in
Pennsylvania (where we grew up); you
always measured your trout, but
never even guessed on weight. Then
when I moved to Montana I figured
out that they related their trout to
weight not length. And then I
figured out that most of them had no
clue as to what the weight actually
was. Hence the JRW LTW conversion
chart below. To us it makes
ultralight fishing that much
better. Enjoy.
