Hmmm I hope this is enough

Dear FTF Member,
Support FTF by Subscribing to Hatches Today! 2011 Issue - In Stock
Since 2003 FlyTyingForum.com has grown from a handful of people to 30,000 registered members and has become the largest fly tying community in the world. In 2007 I published the first issue of Hatches because I felt the FTF community could offer a printed magazine that far exceeds anything the fly tying world has ever seen published. To this day, Hatches is largely made up of articles submitted to me by FTF member and FTF will continue to play a large role in the future of Hatches. Hatches truly is a grassroots effort, unlike many of the other publications in circulation that have the backing of large media corporations. The future of both Hatches and FTF depends on the support of FTF members like you. For $7 a year, you not only help ensure that I have the resources needed to be able to offer you all of the features you enjoy today free of charge, you also get 96 pages of pure fly tying awesomeness that is worth the price by itself. Click Here for Subscription Info Thank You -Will

Just packing for my annual 2 week vacation to my cabin on the Au Sable and just got out the rods I'm taking with me. I think I should have 2 weeks worth covered....maybe. Hi my names Steve, and I'm a rodaholic whistling1.gif

He said those were the rods he was taking with him. I expect he has many more where those came from.

Would it be too much to ask for the specs of each rod? It'll be a chore hahaha!
