    Hey Kat, is this one yours or one of David’s. The rod i meant… :)

    Both! David and I decided to make two identical rods, and to both make both of them. He split the strips, I removed the nodes and straightened them, I rough planed all of them, he final planed all of them, we both glued, and we alternated wrapping guides. After the rods survived a Labrador trip, we waded in to a place in Maine we call “Little Labrador”.

    This handsome brook trout did me the honor the very last day of the season, in a frosty, mossy, and moosey place, on this stream with one of the “Twins”. The smile was heartfelt.

    That is a beautiful brookie!! How wonderful to catch a fish from it’s native range!

    Beautiful Brookie. That is a huge brook trout. Here in Michigan they are my favorite trout to catch. Even the 3″ gems have amazing colors.
