    Default First build

    My picture taking isn't much better than my rod building but I'm quitting on both on this rod. H&H 2 piece 9' 3wt

    Be gentle - it's my first time.

    Dang, there's another one of you guys who make my first attempt look like something a kindergardner would do. Nice looking work!

    Wow, that is a nice color and a very good job. Gene, would you be headed up to Great Waters this weekend? I'll be headed to NE MO over Easter. How far are you guys from Ottumwa? JW

    Thanks guys. It was touch and go, a couple times, as to whether it would be a flyrod or tomato stakes. I've got a lot to learn.

    John. I wish it were a little closer up there. Talked to my buddy at Hibbing. They're still fishing on 2 feet of ice.

    Our water is still cold. Just a couple decent days would help a bunch. I'm about an hour and a half east of Ottumwa.

    Holy smokes! This is your FIRST go at this. Wow! And you're quitting? You might want to re-think that.
