    Just wanted to drop a quick shout out to all the fathers on this board…hopefully you were all able to steal away for a bit and enjoy yourself on the water somewhere…

    I took a couple of hours this afternoon and floated the family pond looking for bluegills stacked on the edges.

    Cameron…..good looking bugs! I love tying with foam…..and fishing a glass rod. I’m restoring an old Abercrombie and Fitch glass rod right now. Can’t wait to try it on some bream and bass!

    Have you checked out those Diamondglass rods yet. They are sweet but pricey!

    Bill Ballen reel and I built the rod on a Mike Brooks blank (MacKenzie taper). It’s a 4wt setup that is fun when you’re after those goggle-eye perches 🙂

    Scott Fibertouch??? I’ll hafta check on that 🙂 Those old glass rods use to be a bargain on Ebay…but not anymore. I’ve got an Orvis Fullflex and a A&F, both with original sock and tube. Call me “Old School”. 🙂

    Well…I only own two fiberglass rods which pretty much cover the spectrum from low end to high end with the Feather Light and then the Scott “F”.
