I keep tossing the thoughts of what will be the first fly I choose, and the first fish. A taste of spring is at hand in the next few days.

I wonder what will be the first fish to come to hand with the "rod"...and what might be the fly that is first cast to accomplish the catch?<br />Enjoyable times ahead.....Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-61023853467762914512019-03-09T06:13:42.658-05:002019-03-09T06:13:42.658-05:00Alan,

Bamboo has a character....no, personality that seems to be more amplified within its creation than glass or graphite! It truly does become a living thing in your hands! Of course, we will expect a full and very photographic report from your outings with this beauty! We hope the weather cooperates in your state so you don't have to wait too long! A wonderful post Alan!
