Yesterday was my birthday. And it went south quickly, as in my three day weekend turned into a one day. The weather and wind is coming in making fly casting not too enjoyable. Life I guess sometimes gets in the way.

But I got smart and did what anyone of us would do. At least I hope you'd do. That's right, I emailed a good friend of mine who builds some incredible bamboo rods, and I put my order in for a 7' 6" 2/2 3wt with a slightly slower med/fast action for these wonderful free stone streams we have here in Colorado. It should be ready by March at the latest, so that gives me time to look at a new reel. But I will probably go with a Ross Gunnison II. I do like Ross reels.

Turned out this birthday had a wonderful ending.

Jim, that means 2 piece and 2 tips. Its custom to get 2 tips with bamboo. Next year I think an 8' 3piece 2 tip 5wt.

I believe you should always buy yourself a birthday present, because after all, who knows you better.
