Hi Dave,
Yes, 1097 means that it was made Ocober of 1997. Most of the older Orvis rods have a date code like this.

No kidding!
I grew up fishing ponds around Vicksburg with my Grandma. This thread makes me really miss those days and makes me wish I could go back with a fly rod. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
To my knowledge, I've never caught a coppernose - that's one I'd really like to catch. Sounds like a good day regardless.
