just received a FINE looking rod this afternoon---

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

Congratulations on the win.

Congratulations, George! Enjoy that new rod SOON and OFTEN! :slight_smile:

y’all have a great rod, WTG!! i have 2 albrights, 9’ 5 piece 4 wt A5, 8.5’ 5 piece 5wt A5NS. both are excellent.

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

Congratulations! Would be neat if you could post a photo of your first fish with it.

That’s a great idea I hope it’s soon. It seem too many of the winners never tell us they won, I like that you showed your appreciation publicy.

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

George

Old#art,

No Sir. not gloating at all. I’d say ENTHUSIASTIC would best describe it. Can I get a Whoop! Whoop!!! CONGRATS…

Best regards, Dave S.
