Many thanks to FAOL and their “Free Drawing” that enabled me to be the proud owner of a great flyrod. And many thanks to Albright for being a sponser that brought all this about.
I am one happy flyfisherman at the present time. Can’t wait to get the new rod out on the water.
George,
I am really happy for you! Please bring it with you to the Virginia Festival in April so Tim & I can give it a look. I think I can even get Jerry (DotMan) back there…been workin’ on it.
Mike
You realize of course, that if the first 5214 entrants had been disqualified, that rod would be mine!!! [SIZE=2]Congratulations pard. Wear it out.[/SIZE]
Appreciate the good wishes. Thanks.
Unfortunately, I don’t carry a camera with me when I fish. Who wants to see pictures of 3 inch bream and 5 inch bass anyway? LOL Probably wouldn’t be able to post them on the board since I am extremely handicapped when it comes to that sort of thing.
Yes, Mike–I can bring that rod with me. Can almost carry it in my back pocket with it being a 5 piece. Never had one to break down that small before.
Now i have to get a 5 weight line. Already have a reel for it. Found a brand new, in the box, older Medalist at an auction last month that will work great on it.
Hope I don’t sound like I am “gloating” but I am happy to be the new owner of that rod.
Again, thanks FAOL and Albright
