Once again a fine gathering for those who enjoy the qualities of a fiberglass fly rod:
Vintage glass in excellent condition well represented. A portion of the one collection of one member shown below.
Vintage Heddon made in Michigan glass looking a fine as the day it left the shop.
Some of the McFarland Rod Company Glass rods as well as prototypes. Note the two different green colored rods with the 8' 6" seven weight green Perpetual to the right in this photograph. See also the yellow tape on the glass & graphite blend prototype. Very nice feel to the four weight prototype and others preferred the five weight more of this unique rod.
Note the big yellow 10 weight glass rod on the left of the McFarland rack :
Paddock fly rods were my favorite from the show last year and they are even better in yellow with custom hardware.
Some of the other quality fly rods brought to enjoy by Fred:
Fantastic reels on vintage and modern glass rods:
Brief shot of the "Pure" by Nico taking a quick rest on the rack with other rods.
McKellip Rods showing a number of grip options with the leather grip being especially attractive.
The reel seat end of a fine McKellip Brothers fly rod with signature reel seat hardware.
My original post of this thread was disrupted due to Photobucket Inc. First attempt to post on new service.
Limited number of photographs this year due to other obligations and much test casting. The rods shown are a small sample of what was on hand for the event. Looking forward to this event next year.
