Took a little Clouser minnow.


Shoot, when I saw the Subject: header I was expecting a picture
of a nice spliff. ;-)

Nice fish and a classic rig. Is that a Montague 'boo with that
old Pflueger Medalist ?

That rod was made by Peter, I would imagine. I have a similar one in
a 5 weight.

Sorry about that, I thought the reel seat looked similar to an
old Montague 'boo. That's a nice looking outfit, real classic
and classy.

How dare you spit on one of my first fly rods. Why the audacity! Pick up the

I thought that might have sounded a bit arrogant! Too many Monty python
movies! I just know that Montagues were pretty low in the bamboo rod
heierarchy, and I try to aim a bit higher than that.

Peter, I learned to fly fish on an old Montague and another boo that
was made in occupied Japan and sold at Sears for $5. I can assure you
that the rod you built for me is far better than any Montague.

Thanks, Dave. You must be getting psyched to go to the Rapid.

Yeah, I have cabin fever pretty badly. Going up in mid-May for ice
out, then the end of May. As I do every year, I'll fish your rod at
least once, along with Zimmerman's, Gehrke's, and Ron Kussee's. I
landed a very nice brook trout last June on your rod - probably went 4
pounds.
