I was sent a Hardy 6 FOOT, 3LINE , GLASS ROD, for testing on the mountain streams, after the day was over & a good reflect, on all that took place streamside & the Ability of the rod, to perform on a mountain stream, i came away with mixed thoughts, on the rod. A little more fine tuning with different lines, will soon show if the rod will be a keeper????. OR NOT?????.

Largest fish of the day fell for a dry, MR Rapidan size 14, with may flies on the surface it was a good choice.

Running a dry down through each pool & feeding lane produce Quick rises & plenty of sport

Another one fell to the Charms of the Rapidan

Largest fish was lifted in the fast water in front of the boulder, bent the glass rod till the butt, fighting him away from the tree roots.

Changed over to a small bead head & searched the pools with good results.

With higher Air & water TEMPS soon, these pools will give good enjoyment to the dry fly & a little bamboo in hand.
This is my fist post in over a year, as a few Health problems ,kept me away.
Hope you enjoy .
