Can anyone tell me if the Orvis Co. had made the "Yamame" rods in 2/2 or were they all in 2/1 configuration? Thank you in advance.

I’m no expert, but my understanding is that the 15 or so Yamame rods were single tip only. The Caenis, only slightly less rare, and presumably identical to the Yamame in all but name, was made with two tips. As with all things Orvis, exceptions may have occurred, such as someone ordering a second tip for a Yamame.

That confirms my suspicions. Thank you.
