    My nephew just graduated from the University of Virginia, so I decided to build him a rod for small mountain streams and spring creeks. It is a Tiger Eye 7’6″ 3/4wt fly rod. The grip is Fenwick style, which I seem to be using on all of my lower weight rods. Wraps are candy apple red with gold trim. Due to the design of the grip and reel seat, I had to also wrap the reel seat hood.

    Neat idea …wrapping the hood.

    That’s a very special gift Bob!
