It is a very unique color. Deciding thread colors could have been hard, but not for this one. Cort's favorite color is purple, there done. I went back and forth on reel seat spacer. Maybe all metal from Joel. Then I remembered, a friend had given me a bunch of purpleheart. That would be perfect. As I am mainly a bamboo fisher, I find this rod close to my comfort zone. A blast to cast.

Built this rod out on a 8' 5/6 wt Blue Halo Sundrop blank. I've finished out a few of these blanks and really enjoy dry fly fishing with them. I also use a lot of streamers and it performs very well. This is strong quick blank, with alot of good reviews. Check out www.bluehalogear.com for pricing on blanks. Also alot of reels for sale.

I knew I wanted to do something I hadn't seen before, but still look good and not too crazy. Also I tried a few new techniques on this rod with varnishing, with great results. Raw fiberglass blank, light blue wraps and poplar burl reelseat. This is gonna be a fun one.

After being picked up on a fishing boat out of Juneau we started the 2 hr boat ride to the cabin. 3/4 of the wat there the captain stopped the boat and said " It's high tide, I think this will be a good spot". 20 minutes later I had my first Halibut. The biggest of the day. Ty caught a flounder and a smaller halibut. With only one other fisherman on the boat we limited out in no time.
The cabin we worked in was right next to a stream that at high tide brought in a bunch of Dolly Vardens. Ty had his first experience with flyfishing. We were getting fish almost every cast. While most weren't of any size, we did land some nice 18 to 20 inchers.
One of the highlights for me was taking off in the little plane from the dirt runway swarmed with pine trees. Getting the birdseye view of the area was awesome.

Cort and I hit the lake and caught a few white bass. Clouser minnow did it for me and Cort got some top action frog popper. To bad we couldnt have stayed out longer. I freakin love how this rod handles. The way it loads is amazing, transfers the energy right to you.

Very pleased with it. It is a very smooth and quick 8' 5wt. I lawn cast it for about a hour and a half. Can't wait to get her on the water. The signature wrap on this one is my interpretation of a Brown Trout. I think it looks great and really livens up the rod.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YOSGI7ZTBHQ/Tyd_MjUyvkI/AAAAAAAABRA/Ed2TOVPBktw/s1600/DSC_8803.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-YOSGI7ZTBHQ/Tyd_MjUyvkI/AAAAAAAABRA/Ed2TOVPBktw/s400/DSC_8803.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703667306705632834" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lPESzck-XcE/Tyd_L3o2k4I/AAAAAAAABQ0/pA7kr90fZJU/s1600/DSC_8788.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lPESzck-XcE/Tyd_L3o2k4I/AAAAAAAABQ0/pA7kr90fZJU/s400/DSC_8788.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703667294978610050" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kh8EMt32fKY/Tyd_Lr4FEmI/AAAAAAAABQo/USkCpztU_4Q/s1600/DSC_8786.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kh8EMt32fKY/Tyd_Lr4FEmI/AAAAAAAABQo/USkCpztU_4Q/s400/DSC_8786.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703667291821249122" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kwhXcl1gHUs/Tyd-g8vYDcI/AAAAAAAABQc/U_47Jmju9uI/s1600/DSC_8780.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kwhXcl1gHUs/Tyd-g8vYDcI/AAAAAAAABQc/U_47Jmju9uI/s400/DSC_8780.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703666557613772226" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DGyZ5QeFeV8/Tyd-gScP8_I/AAAAAAAABQQ/fy83tOQEr9c/s1600/DSC_8774.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DGyZ5QeFeV8/Tyd-gScP8_I/AAAAAAAABQQ/fy83tOQEr9c/s400/DSC_8774.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703666546259260402" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nGxb6a-2IVo/Tyd-f-TEkfI/AAAAAAAABQE/LwupPLAjXJI/s1600/DSC_8770.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-nGxb6a-2IVo/Tyd-f-TEkfI/AAAAAAAABQE/LwupPLAjXJI/s400/DSC_8770.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5703666540852056562" /></a>Jory Wardhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16939350276434344369noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7756680564572755559.post-57873902510225697652012-01-30T21:01:00.000-08:002012-01-30T21:35:14.599-08:00On Her Way HomeFinished Shane's rod and got it in the mail today. She is on her way back to Michigan. Hopefully she will be a good companion for Shane. I have to say this is probably my most favorite rod that I have built. Shane and I started talking two months ago about fiberglass, he asked me if I had time to finish a rod for him. A few days later I recieved a blank in the mail and I got started. This was a great project and I had fun.<br /><br />Rod Specs:<br />7'6" 4wt 2/2 Swelled Butt Shane Gray blank<br />Joel Lemke Reel Seat<br />Custom Bamboo Ferrules made by Me<br />Charcol main wraps, tipped w/ sunburst, med brown.<br />Dipped Man-O-War Spar Varnish<br /><br /> <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OluvquS862A/Tyd4R6mdOcInd/AAAAAAAABP4/OTk9GajtKXE/s1600/DSC_8760.JPG"><img style="display:block;

It uses Chokecherry wood for the reelseat spacer, a tree we used to pick berries from to make jelly. The case is made of Cedar, the same wood we used building fences with my dad.

Cort and I have tried to hit the carp a few times together and ended up going out on bad days. Today was different, we had no excuses. I caught my 2nd carp ever and it was a 29 incher and even more special to me, it was on my 5wt bamboo rod I built. After the carp I caught 3 June Suckers. I have been wanting to catch one of these ever since Cort pulled one out.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tHc4RjfHly0/TmrOeTP78LI/AAAAAAAABFk/PGD7RKsn7RQ/s1600/2011-09-09%2B11.33.15.jpg"><img style="display:block;
