        <![CDATA[ Well, my new AJ Thramer 8&#39; hollowbuilt for a 4-weight has gotten a couple of good tests over the past week or so.  First, because of wind and second by a
few wild Henry&#39;s Fork rainbows. I had asked AJ for a rod that would handle casts of 15&#39; as easily as 50&#39;.  He did the job. I wade with 8 feet of
line off the tip and an additional 30 in loops in my hand.  I was a little worried about the post-noon winds that seem to hit the Fork almost every day from
June through September.... ]]>

  The Hardy Cascapedia 2-3-4 which I chose to accompany the rod gives the setup a very classy look and balances it perfectly to my taste. Incidentally, any
  apprehension I may have ever had about the Korean-made Hardy has been emphatically dispelled by its performance with the fish I&#39;ve taken on it in the
  last week.

			<description><![CDATA[ Mine is a proprietary Thramer taper AJ suggested after a lot of phone conversation.  I said I wanted a 4 weight that would handle a short line yet get me to
45-50 feet with a minimum of false casting.  I told him of my experience casting a hollowbuilt Brandin 8&#39;3&quot; 2-pc hex dryfly taper that I described as
&quot;a symphony&quot; both for its feel and versatility, and he said &quot;I think I can do that.&quot;  IMO, he did. From past rods and discussion AJ knew
that I fished dries... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Congratulations on a nice rod. I&#39;m curious which one of his rods you ended up with (was that his proprietary taper) I ended up with his Classic series
(Payne 101) and really like the workmanship &amp; finish. But I had a little trouble with finding the right line. Although it casted great at distance I had
trouble in close. I originally tried Cortland 444 Peach (5 wt DT &amp; WF) but they didn&#39;t feel right so I then tried a Sylk (6wt WF) and that felt much
nicer in close. I was... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Eric,
<br>
<br>
great to hear that your rod met expectations and then some as it appears. I know you were itching to give it a try on that overrated has-been home water of
yours. Its my understand that the rod will be available for rent through trouthunters?
<br>
<br>
hope this summer gives you as much pleasure as last both in the fishing and family departments.
<br>
will be up in the NE part of the park 7/17 for a few days......maybe convince the boys to swing down your way for an evening... ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Very wet here in Island Park as well, Bill. Most of Fremont Cty has been under a <img src="http://images.yuku.com/image/gif/0261574f5aea22d1983e66e16515d54a367d503_t.gif"> flood watch for the past two weeks.  Upper Henry&#39;s Fork is running
at prime fishing levels in the 800 range, but hatches seem a tad scrambled by the cold weather.  People are seeing green and brown drakes already, and we
haven&#39;t even had a solid flav appearance yet.  Weird.

<br>
educated rainbows in the world, and a
<br>
first-rate test-caster.  Right now it&#39;s raining
<br>
buckets in Dakotah Territory, Eric, so I don&#39;t
<br>
have much else to do but eat my heart out.
<br>
Good thing. ]]></description>

<br>
<br>
Congrats....
<br>
<br>
A good friend of mine just acquired a Thramer hollowbuilt Dickerson taper, and he loves his also... he had a very good day christening it on the Esopus in
early June on lots of foot long silver bullets...
<br>
<br>
Fish it well, and fish it often....
