F.D. Lyons Build Arrives

The eight foot three piece five weight arrived this week from glass and bamboo builder F.D. Lyons.  I spent a few minutes test casting in the yard with a 5DT fly line.  I really like the style of the build and it is quite a fine casting fly rod.  I've been in a warmwater mindset for the past couple of weeks but this rod has me thinking trout again.

Not sure if a J.W. Young or Hardy reel will end up on this build but this minty Condex sure looks right on it, eh?

Thank you Mr. Lyons.  I could not be more impressed with this build.  Your work speaks for itself.
