Mostyn,
Is that Tim Harris of the UK? He posts and has put pics of his rods on the Classic Fly Rod Forum and he makes really nice looking rods.If you get a chance post pics of yours please.

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.

Hi Will,

yes, it's a Tim Harris custom build : tim@harrisflyrods.co.uk or Google Harris flyrods! Here are some (not very good) photos of my new Girl.










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"

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...
