[QUOTE="Pilchard, post: 5046014, member: 19427"] I remember asking for my first fly rod for Christmas when I was 6 years old. I unwrapped what I thought was going to be a rod/reel only to find a package of bamboo. I cried my way upstairs thinking Christmas was ruined because I had to build my own rod. After I got it together I went back downstairs to see that the package of bamboo had magically turned into a 6 wt fly rod. I spent days shooting whatever critter I could with my BB gun to get hair and feathers to stitch together flies for panfish. Now I can hardly get out of bed to fish if it’s not a 100lb tarpon that I’m after. What I wouldn’t give to get that passion back that I had as a small child! [/QUOTE]
