Marty I was just thinking about you, I'm putting a 6 weight fly rod together, my nephew will have it on his boat for a big memorial fishing deal on the Platte the weekend of the 4th, he could have sold the one I made him last year for $1600, so we'll see if someone wants to buy this one, I'll post some pictures of it when I get it complete for you to see. i come from a lot of fly fisherman, but who in the hell is going to pay 1600 for a flyrod?, don't mean to run you down cattrax, just wondering, what do you catch in the Platte? Ratter, I made one for my nephew 2 years ago, he had offers to buy it last year, the cheapest he had offered was $1200, the most was $1600, you start adding up the parts to build a quality fly rod, and it adds up fast, blank $300, components will added another easy $150, then another $300 or more for a reel, and another $140 for line on the reel, and that's not even including the art work I do on the rod and grip, or even the custom cork work I do. The platte has big trout, rainbows, browns, cut throat, even some grayling, and every once in awhile someone will hook a big walleye in there, you should check into the miracle mile if you've never heard of it, pretty well known for big fish, along with gray reef, I'd hate to guess how many yuppie fly bums come fish those places every year, not just summer either, all year long they come fish it. Check out wyoming cowboy drifters to see just a small amount of fishing pictures.

Give us a report Boone, I'll probably head over there sometime in July. I suppose I should go see the daughter in Minot sometime lol.
I'll be at Lake of the Woods this weekend, I might fish.
