I have been looking at everyone's projects they have been working on so I thought I would share my most recent.
It started out as a spinning rod back in 1999 that I had a guy build out of a 8ft 4wt St Croix fly rod blank. I had it built for brook trout. Over the last few years I havent used it and have been wanting a good fly rod. I decided to strip it down and tie it into a fly rod (what the blank had originally been intended for) rather than fork out a bunch of $$ for a new rod. So far I have caught a bunch of bluegill, rock bass and a brown trout.

It is a nice slow action but, it doesn't lay them out there very well in my hands....I need some practice. :laugh:

Nice looking work Ryan.....I really enjoyed the time when I was building custom rods. I've recondition two 1940's bamboo fly rods and one boo spinning rod. There hanging on the wall in some of my FD bow pic's. There just to cool to use everyday, but I have used them some.
Again nice job

Fly fishing and primitive archery is like peanut butter and chocolate to me :)
