Thanks Mike!
I have one other Reading Rod. 8.5 for 5/6 Even more pretty. Problem is, it has my name in the inscription - though, it could probably be removed. Would also be willing to sell.
And, yes, I am old. Been flyfishing for 40 years. But, just fished a week on the Henry's Fork this past July.
I live in Hawaii now, so have to fly to the mainland to fish. I had always hoped to be closer to good fly fishing!!!!
