Home Forums Fishing Flyfishing Let's See Those Flyrods

There are posts on every type of hunting gear, how about some flyfishing equipment? One of my favorites is a Winston 8 foot 4 weight I got from Tom Morgan when he owned Winston.

I went to Russia on a flyfishing expedition to the Kola Peninsula with Tom, Stu Apte, Buzz Ramsey and a few others of note, to do exploratory fishing on the Ponoy River for Atlantic Salmon. When I got back, I spent a lot of time with Tom and eventually got a bunch of rods from him. This 4 weight was the first, finished with an Abel TR-2 reel.

When we were in Russia sitting on the river waiting to be picked up by the boats to take us to camp, a number of local Lapplanders showed up, so to impress them, I told them Tom and Myself had just graduated from Med school and were brain surgeons treating ourselves to a fishing trip. He then started calling me "Doc" Stovall and labeled some rods accordingly...
