There you go, I have not heard about the interesting background of Mr. Fisher. I seem to remember when your rod was posted here. I am glad someone like you who knew the gentlemen will help carry his legacy of craftsmanship on by using the rods. It seems a shame so many fine pieces of fly fishing equipment is sitting in a corner and not being wetted on the stream. Thanks again for all the interesting information and help keep us in the news be it good or otherwise. Tight lines, Jonezee
