7'3", 7'9" and 8'3" - The New Classics?

feeds@yuku.com (seattlesetters) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 18:49:24 GMT

I haven't been fishing bamboo nearly as long as most here (although I've been fly fishing for 31 years) so I'm hoping you all might chime in with your thoughts. Bamboo rod builders are especially welcome to comment, as it's your orders that may tell the tale.

I've noticed that a lot of folks seem to be praising 7'3" (mostly 4wt), 7'9" (4 & 5wt) and 8'3" (4, 5 & 6wt) rods for their versatility and perceived ability to "fish...

HL Leonard Tournament Rod [1930's] - need help determining which model?

feeds@yuku.com (uintaangler) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:45:22 GMT

Here's what I do know:
There is a white label stuck onto the tube that says:
"Model Tournament
8' 3 piece 2 tips 5/6 wt
Rod from 1930's"
The rod was refinished by master rod-builder John Bradford.
I originally thought it was a Model 50DF - but it has been suggested to me that it may actually be the much rarer 4099 - because of the way the cane is fitted to the ferrules and the Black Tipping on the wraps.
Here are some...

hackle plier recommendations

feeds@yuku.com (cwfly) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:24:03 GMT

I threw another pair of pliers across the room last night when the hackle simply slipped out - not for the first time. I've tried the thin black ones, the "english" style and the type with the spring and the little u shaped metal loop on the end and have never been satisfied. To help me stop the juvenile act of throwing little pliers, any specific recommendations would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Charlie

8.5 Salmon Rod

feeds@yuku.com (stony joe) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:23:22 GMT

I'm looking a few places for an Atlantic Salmon rod. Specifically 8 1/2 Foot 8 wt with a Med/ fast action and able to handle fish up to at least 25-30lbs (maybe someday I'll get that lucky!). The rod weight is also an issue, I'd like to keep it around or under 6 oz. I have a few I'm looking at but figured I'd see if someone here is looking to move one. Condition has to be very good. My budget is up to around $1000 maybe a bit more if its really special. I can be...

Wayne Cattanach Rod

feeds@yuku.com (caneguy) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 16:27:00 GMT

I just received a 7 1/2 foot 3 piece rod that has 2 mids and 4 tips that can be configured as a 3 wt or a 4wt by this maker. The rod has all the earmarks Wayne shows in his book and is very darkly flamed. Workmanship, cosmetics, and finish are right up there with the big guys. Does any other forum member own a Cattanach or have any knowledge of rods made by him? Thank you and cheers, Ray

Golden Olive Partridge Hackles

Have gone through a bag full of golden olive partridge hackles and found just a few of the "spade shaped" hackles to use. Does anyone have a source for golden olive partridge ... not "regular olive" but a golden / yellow olive color? Would like to get a few dozen for size 12 & 14 flies. Thanks.
