I didn’t want to clutter the board last year. Figured with all this snow which has me day dreaming, I’d share a few more from ‘21 on the FS61. It’s quickly becoming a favorite.
Of my Fenwick collection, last year I used my FSP661 and FF605 too. And am also building the SP782F. I had finished the 661 earlier last year. I found the 782 and 661 blanks on eBay from different sellers. Didn’t pay much either.
I used the FS61 quite a bite. On 5 creeks in 3 states. It seemed a little whimpy at first but I just wasn’t used to it. I do enjoy the Fenwicks. Along with Fenwick rods, I also have a couple of small Woodstream boxes for wading and several tackle boxes for storing fly tying and rod building materials.
I was using a garage sale reel that my son found and then repaired. However, my good friend found a Garcia Mitchell 408 at a garage sale. I loaded it with P-line. It is in excellent condition too.
I have the grip on the 782 and scribed the model number too. Have to wrap it.
I do love my wade fishing.
