Reel Recovery

The RBF is sponsoring a fund drive for http://www.reelrecovery.org/. Members will be building 14 flyrods (9' 5wt 4pc), tying 5000 flies, and collecting $2000 (to go towards reels, rod socks, and rod tubes). I have opted to build and donate a rod. Our deadline is April 1. This is another build that is getting me excited! The planning of rods like this one is, at least, half the fun! I will keep updating as I progress with this one. I turned down the Spalted Maple. This stuff is magnificent! I sanded this one down to 1000 grit and polished it with the backside of the paper. This may just end up on my donation rod (?).
