Probably gonna ask 300 for the combo....doing it up with single foot guides rather than the doubles that the OTC rod has...also upgraded the seat from the standard matte gray/ rosewood to a nickel silver with maple insert. I have a Lamson Konic 1.5 that I bought last year for 129.99 that I am putting on it. I have a stainless orvis mid access set up for it too but I will probably keep that one.

Kevin, I mailed the flies on Thursday. It is a variation of the Clouser Swimming Nymph.

Timing for this should be about perfect for me in Ohio. The fish should be mostly done with their spawning and resume feeding by the time these get delivered and I plan to field test everything!

 

Thanks again for organizing this, Kevin.

Yes an early THANK YOU for organizing this swap. it was my first and a fairly fun experience so far. Every one of my flies will probably fall apart on the first cast so to all you fellers YOU ARE WELCOME FOR THE HOOKS!!! (just kidding but I do hope some rubber lips are brought to hand on those hybrid worms)
