A McFarland early brown blank finished out as a 7'9" four piece 4 weight and a three piece 7'6" Lamiglas yellow blank also in a 4weight. They were finished out by a friend who has given up fishing for health reasons. He did nice work.

The other prize was an Ari Hart Rio Orbigo F2 reel. What a beaut.

Those are real treasures Pete - not just great rods but having been finished out by your friend makes them extra special. ATH reels are works of art and just amazingly smooth. I think the Rio Orbigo 2 was my favorite ATH that owned, it just seems ideal to cover most trout situations. I hope it serves you well and you get to enjoy it often this year and the years to come.

Tight lines
