Thanks Dan. Here's his cell too. 916 316-7130. A real character. Does biz out of the an old drug store on main street in Loomis. I "bushwhack" a lot so with that comes some oops moments so its been nice to have Jim close at hand.

Hey I know that little drugstore. It's like going back in time...as I recall, they still have seats at the
counter in the back. I wonder if they make milkshakes like they did back in the day?

Thanks for his information! I'm going to give him a call and see if he will take a look at the rod for me.

Jim Clarkson @ Raptor Rod Works in Chico is one of the best. 530-894-2062

Jim is the man, He's done excellent work for me in the past, and is an original prodigy of the Powell Family and building their quality fly rods. His experience of such is timeless. - J.

Jon & Lincoln----Jim came by the Truckee Guide NetWork booth at the Pleasanton show. Unbeknownst to most; I believe Jim built the Hexograph rod that was used in the classic "River Runs Through It" movie in the early '90's. I met Jim years ago on the McCloud; introduced to me by David Foster.
