Interesting facts about me

I am a Welshman, married to a Yorkshire girl for what will be 37 years this year. We live in a log cabin on the Manistee river in Michigan, sharing this with a Wirehair Pointing Griffon, my sometime fishing partner. My fishing interests center around fly fishing for trout, with a few asides for Steelhead, Salmon, Bass and Bluegills. Bamboo rods are a big part of the mix, casting, fishing and making them. Along with the fishing, some fly tying, guideing, teaching, and the books that take me further down this slippery slope.
I bought my first fly rod almost 50 years ago, so this has'nt been a passing fancy, I am in for the long haul. My favorite places to fish are spring creeks. I like to fish a mixture of home waters and new places to keep things fresh. I have been a member of TU since moving to Michigan thirty years ago, and I have been a FFF certified casting instructer since soon after the program started.
Tight lines........ glue and fish.

    That is the same offer Jue Reed made to me. But no thanks. Thinking (only thinking about) my next Sweetgrass rod or mybe my next Summers rod!
    I have to leave now and go lay down so all this goes away.
    Too much, too much to keep thinking about.
    See you at the next club meeting.

    Hello Peter,

    I noticed your post regarding Wanigas rods. I own one Wanigas rod that was build on a Young midge blank. I was interested in the one that is up on Bob Summers site:
    http://www.rwsummers.com/listRods.cfm?ID=Miscellaneous
    It is a Wanigas supreme. What is intriguing about the rod is that it was built with light cane (not flammed) but is in a 2 piece configuration. I asked Bob about the bamboo blank and he said that it could be Young, but he wasn´t sure. I was wondering if you had any idea. Any information would be greatly appreciated.


    Best regards,
    Michael
