Holy smokes! Just finished reading every post in this 8 page novella. I feel like I just binge watched an entire season of Game Of Thrones but without the nudity because the old photobucket images are no longer available.

I’m writing this to just send a huge “thank you” to ALL its contributors and especially Joel (2dabacking) for going deep, sharing his research and expressing his theories. This one will definitely go down as one of the “classics” on the Classic Fly Rod Forum.

I'm going to have to read through all this couple time for a A&F Divine BIC Fairy I acquired. I hope between this thread, Sinclair's book, and the web I can figure out what I have here.

Thank you everyone.

Thanks it is kinda nice and cool. 7'6". Needs a little TLC but I think it'll will clean up enough and believe I can find guides and tiptop. Just not sure which stripper to look for. I understand ones with English guides had agate stripper and ones without English guides had regular metal stripper. But I'm still trying to read through a lot to see what I have.

My 7’6” Divine Fairy has an English twist snake for a stripper.
