for the list
we've had somewhere in the range of 70 fly rods so far............and i've
given away well over 20............including all my fiberglass
rods............."what was i thinking?" lol..................i'm sure we have
round 50 rods now...........quite a few which have never been
used.........eventually, as time goes by.....we'll end up donating all of them
(we don't use), for auction/raffle/whatever........and the rest (that we do
use), will be willed for the same purpose or given to the FFF and or TU or
whomever for "the cause." Same with the books and the artwork, etc., etc.,
etc.............i like to fish with boo nowdays, at least on small streams and
brooks...........Misa is GUNG-HO graphite and has a deal with TFO and
Reddington.........she gets rods rediculasly cheap.........we're talkin'

I like all three. My 7 ft, 2 wt bamboo is my favorite, for that's what I
learned to fly fish with. Call it nostalgia or whatever, but I love my bamboo
rods, even my parabolic bamboo. On fiberglass, I really enjoy my Wright &
McGill Featherlite - 7 footer, 3 wt, that I use on very small streams. Love
that limber action. Then on bigger streams I use my 5 wt graphite, espceially
when I know there's a chance of a biggun! Can't say that I'm really partial to
any of the three, for each has its place in my 20 rod arsenal. There's an old
saying, " A fly fisher can never have too many rods. I agree. Why else would
I have so many. Some are brand new, never fished. Just getting them down
during the winter months and fondling them is enjoyable, next to tying flies in
the cold winter months.

Well stated, Jimmy. People argue about which is "better". They're all
"better". You just have to adjust yourself to the particular rod.
My latest "love" is a Dave Lewis fiberglass rod.
