Has anyone ever been up to Houston, BC and seen that big rod they have up there on public display? The fly is huge too!

Haven’t seen it but it would be great if somebody could post a photo of it.
A so-so picture of it can be found [url=http://district.houston.bc.ca/html/worldslargestfly-rod.htm:381a6]here[/url:381a6].
A 36" diameter reel??? thats taking “LARGE ARBOUR” a bit too far 
Work is a means for people to afford their fishing.
That is really neat!!! However, it really needs to be in Texas!!!
Andy
all types of fishermen must pull together for the good of all!!!
Not to start a flameout or anything but BC could swallow up Texas and have Alaska left over . Just Kidding buttermilk …lol
Texas is still the biggest state , After all when if you melted Alaska it is really just the size of Rhode Island .
Fantastic! Can one imagine trying to cast that thing? Is Paul Bunyun still around? Well that flyrod certainly puts another Canadian spot on the map and I am proud to see that. With our country being so huge, it is nice to be drawn to certain places that stand out. Here in Ontario, we are fortunate to have the largest 5 cent nickle at the Sudbury nickle mines and the largest Canada Goose at Wawa. Both places have also made their mark on the map and are known to be busy tourist spots bringing vistors from all over the world to these special places. Wonderful!
Actually, you could cut Alaska in half and make Texas the third largest state.
Thanks for the Photo FFTex
Here is a link to more details on the topic and a better image:

Here is a picture of the World’s Biggest Chainsaw, that will make the World’s Biggest Fly Rod into the World’s Biggest Pile of Kindling!

Don’t you guys watch the Discovery channel’s Big. It had to actually work like a small one and be tested, for it to be considered a record, so who is strong to use it? Hey D. Micus where are you??
You never heard of Paul Bunyon, and Babe the Blue Ox? That is who could use the fly rod and the Chain Saw. Here is Pauls rifle that he uses during hunting season…
Paul’s rifle “Big Ernie”, yes it shoots!
