Little river, low water flows, browns and cutbows, 8 to 15 inches with an occasional bigger one during the spawn.

Yep. The sections I used to fish were in the upper reaches around Red River, NM, and its a small river. Lots of fun, some stretches with overhanging trees and brush, but plenty of open stretches of water. Beautiful country.

It sounds like he should build a light wt spining rod 4 to 6lbs. around 6 to 7ft in length.
