Up for sale is a wonderful piece of fly fishing history - an Everett Garrison bamboo fly rod. This is a model 204, which is 7'6" 2/2. All sections are full length and straight. Comes with the original tube and rod sock. The rod is all original and has no evidence of damage, repair or alteration. The rod has been in the same family for the past 60+ years. It is marked Garrison - 204 7' - 6" - 3 - oz. It weighs 3.2 ounces on my postal scale.
The varnish is soft and demonstrates bag marks. One of the wraps has loosened. The cork is soiled. The new owner will have the option of leaving the rod all original or alternatively could have it competently restored. Either way this is an iconic and uncommon fly rod worthy of any collection.
Asking price is $4350 shipped, PM if interested.
Thanks for looking
