Great! Fly fishing in a such a small stream don't require much casting distance so a shorter bamboo or glass stick will feel right at home there. And catching a small fish in creek or a big one in a river are just as fun in my book. Keep it up, Buddy!

Very nice review of your rod enjoyed the video

[@dmm3124]

Excellent video. Watch out, though. This is an addicting hobby, collecting bamboo fly rods.

Yes, I have so many rods. I have a lot of duplicates too since I have my favorite production tapers that aren’t being made any more. Heddon and phillipson are my go to.

Beautiful rod. Just got a Montague Flipline. From the 40s or 50s I think.

Do those old model flyrod have thick tip

[@JRPaquatics]

None of the ones I have do. Compared to graphite they are thicker though.
