Thanks for looking. So how does this come about?
I purchased this blank from Patrick’s Fly Shop many yrs ago....they installed the seat and cork. I was going to finish the guides. And wraps but never did.

~~~~~~~Last yr I had Fred Kretchman install the guides and wraps. I did not want to tackle this myself. ~~~ as always Fred’s work is remarkable ~~~

~~ rod needs to be used ,,, trout fishing here is terrible.... hope someone can use it.

The Sage Light Line, LL 8'1" #5 line in 2 piece was not a popular rod for us in CA but would be a lovely smooth casting 5 weight for classic dry fly fishing.

This is a new custom built fly rod and would be a good buy for someone......

Thanks Bill. The corporate culture had us moving for many yrs. ..I never got around to finishing the rod. Fortunately Fred Kretchman,,wonderful cane builder. Did a tremendous job ....it does make a wonderful dry fly rod.
