Placed in the Au Sable River Two Fly!

Recommended Posts

The following is copied from my Classic Fly Rod Forum post from a few minutes ago.

Hi all, it’s been a while since I last posted. 

I competed in the Two Fly tournament this past weekend and placed second in the men’s division. This is my first year in the division, having aged out of the youth division at 16. I certainly didn’t expect to do this well, I just do it because I like a relaxing competition. And honestly I’m glad I didn’t win (missed by only a few inches) since if I did I’d have to stay in the Competitive division for the next 5 years!!!

I received a very nice Hardy 9’6” 7 weight, and as a token of my appreciation I will be making a perpetual trophy for the overall highest total length not in the competitive division (so only the Men’s, Women’s, and Youth Divisions) consisting of an 8’ 5 weight Dickerson 8013 bamboo fly rod. The plan is to finish it with either Gnome’s favored spray finish or Gorilla Glue, haven’t decided yet, in order to facilitate writing the name of the winner on the butt each year. I will most likely use the Gorilla Glue for this rod even though I like Jeff’s stuff more, simply because it’s easier to write on- since I’ll need to put a new name on each year.
