#1364Last Friday night I was lucky enough to pick up this 22" rainbow (and a couple of others, one significantly larger!) on a river that shall remain unnamed. The rod was a 9"2" Walton Powell 6ish wt. that has not 10, not 11,...but 13 guides, excluding the tip top. Ole Walton must have been in the mood for experimenting when he build this one!

#1365I have been fishing my 8' 4 weight Cumberland Queen made for me by Wyatt Dietrich of Dream Catcher Fly Rods in 2013. Fishing a bery diminioshed summer sulfur hatch on the West Branch. I managed four to 20" yesterday and almost repeated that today. Today's big brown went for wood and I had no choice but to hold and try to turn him. The hook pulled out, but the rod was winning up to that moment!
...a wink of gold like the glint of sunlight on polished cane...

#1367Lon, that is my kind of water! Gorgeous color in that rainbow and nice set to angle with as well.

#1369Beautiful photo, nice rod, nice fish. I rediscovered a 2/2 9’ “B” taper in the back of my closet, super sweet, now my go to dry fly rod for fall on the Metolius. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do mine,

#1370Thanks Tom I think it may become my favorite rod. I too am in Oregon. For some reason I never go to the Metolius and I don't know why ? Old habits I guess. Good luck on your fall fishing Jerry

#1371I am in Oregon and have a 9' 3/2 B taper. We should meet up!

#1375Teter, every time I view one of your posts I feel as though you have the angling life most fishermen can only dream of! The photos are so well done and capture the essence of the moments from the take to the bend in the rod and a beautiful fish in the net. I look forward to these posts, and others as well, so thank you for sharing.

#1376Thanks. I have to confess that many of the photos are frame grabs from go-pro videos.

#1377I was gifted a 7'-0" 4wt Hoffhines rod last year by a forum member and it is a wonderful, delicate caster. However, it only had one tip, so I asked Rob to make a second tip last year and I've been chomping at the bit to fish it. Yesterday was a calm, misty day -- perfect conditions to take the rod out and christen the new tip fishing tricos and small olives. This rod is truly a fairy wand, it's so smooth and even 9" fish give a good account of themselves -- you can feel them right into the cork. Fished #24 tricos on a 6X tippet...no problem. Rob also replaced the reel seat and did a couple other touchups....wonderful little wand. I cannot speak highly enough of Rob and his rods.
