Heck, there are a ton of FOOLS out there, both rich and poor. I love meeting up with them as I am not normal and do not tolerate their behavior. I have never been convicted for my actions towards...

Welcome to this site, friendly, helpful group of fly fishing people. Me, I just join a fly fishing club in SoCal and waiting to see how friendly they are. Could be fun, then again if not, I can...

Yes, thank you, I would want to know who to be aware of. Better to learn from others than learning on my own.

Many thanks to my rod-builder (he is really knows my wants/ needs and helpful), this is what I am going with for the grips:
4Wts in traditional
5wt in traditional
6wt in full wells and fight butt....

Welcome to rod building, you are going to have a fun time building your first rod. Me, I have building salt water rods for over 30 years to just learn I know very little about fly rods, but now back...

I love reading this information, me, I just want to have fun and not kill fish. I think it comes from getting old.

That does not stop me from designing what I want. I still want to help put on my fore-grid and reel seat on the blank, so my question on the following blanks to be build are, what size fore grip-how...

Me too, but no reason to fret, I will be fine and enjoy what I can.. Thanks, but it was worth a try.

Where is Lanny, I give up, just can not get it done. Two blanks going his way. Thanks guy for all your help, but I just have no feel in my fingers.. I just need to live within my physical limitations.

Just to be clear, I have the fingers of an elephant and five fingers hardy work.

Hey thanks for your suggestion, I have use those girlie things in the past and yes they do work, now have buy some. I forget allot.

Help! I now remember why I give up wrapping my own rods, How do I keep the small guides in place till I get the wrap going over the foot of the guide. I have no feelings in my fingers, bad eye...

Ok, I have decided to start my 1st fly rod built on a Rainshadow RX7 IF903 9' 2 PC 3WT for building practice, but already have that Sage on order. I just love my Salt Water Rainshadow rods, but also...

Will do, ten feet! Not sure I will not roll on my back when I load that rod up... Just joking. Thanks!

Wow, I love learning thur other life experiences and not have to learn it on my own, it just takes too much time. This is a great read, Thanks!

Nope, not much strength in this body anywhere, But I refuse to give up on my various interest, it just take me allot longer to get whatever done. But I will give my left side a try.

Great wealth of information! Also, Jerry was the first guy I met on this board. Prey all is well with him and his wife.

Well you all sure make feel welcome to this board for sure! 1) 63 years young 2) 4 strokes and really weak on right side of body 3) Switching from Tuna to Trout fishing 4) love fishing 5) never give...

Thanks Dave I did not know that. I love learning from others.

Thanks Warren, I will listen to him, great rod builder too.

Wow, those Tiger Eye blanks are at a great price, I did not think anyone could beat a Rainshadow price. I may have to re-think that 99 blank.
Thanks Dave for your input..

Just a beginner to fly fishing, but over 40 years a saltwater fisherman and have been on many boats and caught fish of various size, I do not think it matters. All the great catchers (NOT ME), kill...

I am looking to have a new fly rod wrapped, but still questioning which blank to build it on. I like slower action rods, stupid lite for nymph fishing from a float tube on a lake. I have to tell you...
