Hello from Colorado

Well I have stopped lurking and taken the plunge to join this forum. I live in Mead. I work all over the country, am currently in Western NC. Fly fished for a long time on and off. Have just picked up my first vintage bamboo rod, a W&M Aristocrat 9050. A bigger rod than I probably need to fish the St Vrain or the big Thompson, but it’s a start. Look forward to learning from this group.

Welcome to this great forum and the Cane rod community. After you have fished your rod a few times I think you will see that you will start thinking of getting another...and then as is said your hooked ....Welcome and have fun. Best Paul

Welcome, Randy.

A 9050 was also my introduction to the Granger/W&M family. And many rods later, it still sees time on the water in CO.
Enjoy the rod and the journey!

Best,
Andy

Bamboo rods are like potato chips, you can never have just one...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I am sure my rod collection will grow with more bamboo. One of these days I will stop in at South Creek down the road in Lyons and take a look.

Welcome to the forum! I live in Western NC, near Highlands. Hope you enjoy your time working here and also the time you get to spend fishing back home in CO.

Regards,
Don

Welcome, Randy! The W&M Granger is a nice rod for the west. But, I suspect that it won't be your last cane rod!

Welcome! Many of the trout I have caught in Colorado were taken with 9050 Grangers. They're often the best choice.
