He used to post here a couple of years ago.
Helped me out with some advice for fishing in Yorkshire and posted some great reports. Does make some beautiful rods too as far as I can remember.
All round top bloke.

Tim Harris, is a top class Cane Rod Builder! Unfortunately my photography doesn't do his work justice! Tim is a really nice guy and easy to get along with and makes some of the best cane rods in the UK! I would not hesitate to commission another cane rod with him! I'm really pleased with the "Little Vixen"

That is a beauty! Thanks for sharing the pics.

A lovely 'boo rod.
My current favorite is a Hardy 6' 2 wt graphite, nice short range caster.

Just joined the forum. Great looking site with lots of useful information.
I use a 6' #2 TFO rod for the moment. I'm looking at getting a 6'6" #3 Greys Streamflex for next year.
Being from the UK I also do a lot of bait and lure fishing on small rivers. So I use spinning rods (using fixed spool reels) as well as float and leger rods (using centrepin reels).
Bamboo rod I won on smallstreams.com.
I first started with graphite, then went to bamboo, then to fiberglass, then back to bamboo, then back to glass and now Tenkara graphite rods. I have been very fickle about this but I think I have finally found my nich with the simplicity of Tenkara. I like everything about it.

On my back-woods streams, I like to use one of the first Orvis One-weights. (was shipped for testing to the previous owner, an Orvis shop owner then)... I also can be found with my SL 804, more apt to smack into trees, and the like anyway...
