100 years from now people will wonder who made that rod. You should place your name and date of manufacture on it. Is the metal on the reel seat case hardened?
You have a true talent! |

I put the serial number of the Parker on the sliding band and my name one on the butt. The metal components are all cold blued nickel silver.

Very nice Dave. Will it be seeing any time on the water or is it strictly a display piece?

I have to go over to Kalispell for work next week, it may see some "time on the water" then. It casts like a dream. I think a 7 1/2' 5wt is the sweet spot for bamboo.

Dave;
Your rod is a hum dinger, simply beautiful and the right length and weight (5). I envy the rod, your talent, and the fact that you are going over to Kalispell to christen it, as I have been there but did not fish. Have fun fishing. and leave some fish for the next guy. Roger |

Fly Rod
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, Best Austin |
