It is hard to maintain the rod building momentum during the summer, while the fishing season is at its peak. This rod is drying in between coats. I will be fishing the Driftless area in a few days and I am looking forward to it!

Another whitecurrant yellow 8' 4wt is completed and ready to be shipped to its new owner.

On a side note, I've been also fiddling with the new 8' 5wt version, which might also work as a strong tipped 4wt. The prototype is in melon orange glass and needs to be tested soon. Also, I just finished a graphite two-hander for overhead casting for striped bass :-)
