Hi Stan,

Yep, I'm only buying four-piece rods from now on. I've got a couple of two-piece rods and they're such a pain to travel anywhere with.

I did some fishing with one of my 8 wt Orvis outfits the other day and caught two small Tarpons! They were the only Tarpons I've ever caught... wow, they sure do love to leap! Silly me, I didn't have a camera with me.

I also did some fishing in a small pond and caught a nice Tilapia. I had to get the nymph through the smaller fish on the surface to get to the bigger ones down below. Once the fly reached about three feet, it was in the realm of the over-a-pounders... nice fish.

Mahalo,
Dave
