Hey splinter3,
Check your PM. Funny you should ask... I just ran across this same rod at an antique store. Didn't buy it, but I might. Sure looked nicely done. Pretty. How does it cast and...
Bill and Jean,
We just saw this and feel awful. Praying that all goes well and that you can come home soon. Am out of state the rest of this week, but if there is anything that us locals can do...
Count me in boys. See you there.
Betty,
Yeah, I looked on the site as well and can't come across it. The builder that presented it was the one that had talked to them about the idea and they sent him one, perhaps for testing and...
If you can, and if you are building the rod, you might want to try it both ways before gluing on. At Grayrock this year, one of the rodbuilders spoke to the gathering about the impact that...
Add to that list the Maple up near Pelston. Nice brook trout stream.
Get a hold of Jim Bedford's Fly Angler's Guide to Michigan. You can buy it in Traverse City at Northern Angler or Streamside...
Yep! His first trout at age 6, and it was one of the biggest caught that day (around 12" brown). His older brother Jon (age 8 ) laid waste to them, landing 7 under the watchful guidance of "Mr....
I'm glad they have removed the original statements from the website (not sure why they put them up there in the first place). Personally, I don't have a problem with what is written there now.
Yonk,
Oh, and by the way, sorry that your original post got hijacked along the way. Don't mean to drag you into the middle of a squabble that you very obviously did not mean to start.
Like I...
Yonk - I agree, and if an individual made a statement on a website like that, it would be one thing. Just take it in stride, ignore it and move on. But for a respected business like H&H who has...
I have been a customer of H&H for several years now and have always been pleased with their products and service. I also appreciate their long support of this and other sites. But I also have...
Janus - PM sent
Great... a $22 fix to a $20 reel...
This should not be this hard...
I just purchased a 1960?s version Pflueger 1495 that is in very good condition, but is set up for right hand retrieve. I found some instructions online to convert...
The pictures don't do them justice guys. They really are gorgeous, especially for the price.
I tried the new "Test" at the Detroit show this March. I believe it was a 7' 4 wt, but I could be mistaken about the length. I like bamboo rods and was keeping an eye out for a possible alternative...
Steelhead on a 4/5 wt?! Man, ride 'em cowboy!
Got a package in the mail today from modocdan. Well done sir! Didn't have a chance to cast it, but I'm thinkin it will be a pleasure.
Thanks for setting this up Brad.
ol'blue's rod is on its way to him. Left in the mail today from work.
Fini!! At long last it is done. Spent a ton of time on it and guess what... it still isn't perfect! But not to bad for $35 or so. Everything oldschool... Fenwick style grip, spigot ferrule,...
black_co - I'm still varnishing the wraps on mine. With my rod dryer motor giving up the ghost last night, and being gone this weekend, I will be bringing up the rear with you. So don't sweat it.
I laid out the guides I had using a spacing guide from the St. Croix blank catalog, which had 1 more guide than what we received. I placed a guide at each location but the one closest to to the...
Cholcomb and I... brothers in procrastination! I will start wrapping this weekend as well.
Oh yeah... well what happens if I am not done in time? Is a doll of me burned in effigy at the Fish-In? :)
Or better yet... what if I my rod turns out so nice that I don't want to give it up? I...
A few days from mailing?! I am nowhere near ready. I thought I had till April 15 to finish this. And I am swamped at work to. I don't want to hold up the show here though. If I dropped a ball...
