Perhaps if you hadn't fished with the Garrisson replica all evening you
might have had some time to try the Moran rod.

Do I detect a note of frustration here? Perhaps I "borrowed" the Garrison
for too long...........:-)

Hah, it was a long test run, wasn't it?

Or was it so that I was
insensitive enough not to offer it?

No, you did offer, I just got distracted by the Garrison copy. Even for a
putz like me that was a lovely rod to cast, at distances further than 30'
or
so anyway.

I'm glad you gave it a chance. It does tend to take a while to get used to,
but once there and one's hooked.

And as for replacing the T&T with a Sage? I'm not even going
there.


Ah, but this is not like the other Sage rods that you build your opinion on.
Not the very stiff, totally insensitive, good for nothing (at least not
fishing) casting machines ;-)

Besides, I will have a new 8'6" 6wt from Cal Anderberg by spring and
this should keep my happy for a while.

There's nothing like a hexagonal piece of bamboo with a reel attached to it
when it comes to keeping a fly fisherman happy for a while. Is this another
of Jennifer Ohlsson's rod series?, or just the individually fitted cane rod
that only an assistant professor; or whatever it was, can afford? ;-)
