[Austin W Hogan]

Very nice looking rod and perfect varnish. Is that a DT 5 or WF 5? A nice slow 5 will usually roll more leader than the length of the rod and can't be beat for nymphs; it will also roll out sparse size 12 streamers.

The nymphs shown work well in this part of the world. Streams here are back up after a heavy thunder shower Wednesday. Five brookies took a sort of orange fish hawk in an hour in the stream by the house last evening,
