    Beautiful, beautiful build!! My favorite rod has a birch bark grip made for me by Mike Popick. I love the way the grip warms to your hand while casting!
    Trouts don't live in ugly places.

    A friend is not who knows you the longest, but the one who came and never left your side.

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    I like that grip and seat combo. It is beautiful as it is. I have often wondered why some folks will turn a seat out of one type of wood and don't match it on the grip.

    Your skills and attention to details show in that rod. If you wish to have it "broke in" on some trout, just send it my way and I will gladly do that for you and at no charge to you.

    That, sir, is a very beautiful rod...Thanks for sharing...

    Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.

    That is a real handsome build. The handle is absolutely beautiful.
