Phil, I’m surprised the wind didn’t blow you and that nice rod away. We’ve had 45 mph winds for the past week. No time for poppers…and very difficult to hear turkeys on the roost.

Andy, I have John’s book and I have several bamboo rods, including a Glenn Brackett-era Winston 7-1/2’ 4wt that is my dream rod. I also have 4 glass rods and graphite rods in 2 through 9wt. I enjoy them all.
Garry, yesterday was the day between winds! Had to take advantage of it!

Phil if you get to Upstate NY I'll bring you to my club, the DeBruce Fly Fishing Club, where Nick Lyons and Sparse Grey Hackle were members, among many other notable figures. Two miles of private water on the Willowemoc. It is a gift to belong to it and that Glen Brackett Winston would absolutely sing there! I am still kicking myself for not buying a Ron Kusse rod ten years ago when he told me he had cancer and it was one that a customer failed to complete the purchase on. 8' #5 and he was asking the balance due, $800, and for some reason I thought it was priced high. He said I could drive out and cast it, and I said I'd think about it and never remembered. We live, kick ourselves in the ass, and learn.

Thanks Andy; I'm afraid I'd be a little out of my league there! Here's my little Winston; it connected with a few bass last week...

Yep. It's a Hardy Marquis/Scientific Anglers 50th anniversary reel.
