    Oh yes!! Do tell us more.

    I have the PHY 6ft 2wt "prototype". There were two made, a 2wt and a 3wt. What a glorious rod. Hands down the sweetest casting rod I've ever casted.

    Old school GL3 Loomis 8' 3wt. The most diverse stick that I have and has served me well from lunker shore cruising trout in lakes to tiny trickles of water with a bow & arrow technique. They're delicate yet can hold up in the wind and lay down a silver tongue like no other. T&T rods and others have served me well in the past as well but this black matt finished stick has done me proud.

    Gerard,
    That is one great looking PHY rod!!!!!!! Do you fish it? The grip is so clean it looks like it's never been used.Just the same it's quite a coup having a prototype from a classic maker like Paul Young.


    Steve,
    That is a sweet looking rod,but then I have come to expect nothing but the best from you.Is that the same new taper for the 7'9" length that you mentioned working on a couple of months ago?
    Thanks for sharing guys,
    Will

    I sure do Will, although I reserve it for special streams and occasions. :mrgreen:

    Hi All,

    Wow! Some beautiful looking Cane Rods !! I cant wait to get my grubby hands on my new cane rod from Tim Harris! Just a thought! Do you Guy's use Silk Lines with your cane rods?

    Re: Your best stick?

    Mostyn,
    I don't use silk because at this stage of my life I'm looking for simple,as maintenance free as possible tools whether it be for hunting or fishing.Silk lines demand too much care and maintenance for me.In addition to that I'm not keen on spending $160 or more for a fly line.
    Will
