Thanks for sharing, there’s not a much prettier than a small stream trout of any species!
I bought a FF 605 in 1975 and have used it on many small streams as well as some bigger water like the Deshutes and the Metolius. It worked well on the streams and under the brush on the bigger water. I’ve gotta say though that I was a bit under gunned when I tied into a 18-20 inch red side in swift water.
I was able to win the bid on the FS50-4 that Rick Pasquale was selling on eBay
After I spoke with Rick and had him write up the story, I asked if he might be able to put me in touch with the winner of the FF70-6? We worked it out and the new owner of the rod pointed me to this forum.
After emailing back and forth I was able to work a deal and take possession of the 70-6.
I just love these little ultralights!
