Customers are my greatest asset. Thanks for being one!
It's been another great year for fly rods so far. I thought I was ahead several months ago but that changed once the first week of June dropped by! Four Steffen's left fairly quickly along with several of my Olive EPIC's that won't be available going forward.
But we still have the EPIC's in the great looking amber color of which guides are being wrapped on a 686 Amber and a 476 amber as "we speak." The 580 I had
started ended up in Maine as a custom build - this same gentleman had
previously purchased four from my site in June . . .
Throw in a few custom builds and it's been a banner year to date!
Many thanks to all customers!

"Everyone needs an escape. For me, my escape is fly fishing. During some of the most trying times of my adult life I have used a fly rod as a coping mechanism.
The river is a place where I can immerse myself in God’s creation and forget about everything but mending."
Jess Westbrook, Founder -The MayFly Project
