The weather around SE PA has been unseasonably warm so I located my Lamiglass in the garage to take it midging on a local stream. This was the same stretch that I used earlier with another glass (Fisher blank 7'2" 3wt) so I could evaluate the difference.

This is a honey of a stick (pun) and I used a GPX DT with it. It doesn't flex as deeply as the Fisher, but is progressive with an intuitive feel - not quite point'n shoot but accurate and provides lots of feedback, especially when a trout is registering disagreement with steel in its mouth.

The tip is fairly sensitive and has enough mass that hooking up with 8X and #22-26 midges is easy as pie when I either raise the rod or just give the rod a wiggly flip.

I didn't try to go to the other end of the spectrum and try chucking weight, double fly rigs or streamers, but this Lami feels like it would be amenable.compared to my small graphites or canes and the Fisher, the bigger butt of the Lami ought to be fine for bushier flies on pockets of small streams too. When it warms up, that application will be on the agenda.

Maybe I ought to try a Phoenix silk on it when summer comes - might make for some interesting Tricoing, though I have a phobia about using light colored rods on most spring creeks.

that's great tom!
even though my father recently retired after 35 years with NASA, my wife gets a bit uneasy when i try to do anything purely in the interests of science.
