Mad angler Simon Chu, along with his photog friends Greig Cousins and Simon Sheppard, have been hitting up local streams just minutes from Simon's cottage.
Simon has been putting to work a new
Scott Fly Rod Company F2 7'7" four weight against brute brown trout in small water.
Simon echoes my thoughts on the capability of glass in his email...
"These fish were from wee streams around home and it just goes to show that these rods can land good fish and aren't just for little ones, eh!"
Simon continues... "The F2 7'7" four weight is a sweety but is a bit limited sometimes with my casting ability in a wind. It has no problem with the fish with a good reel and a bit of side pressure. We had one hog blow us off into the trees when we were trying to fight it from an elevated position. Side pressure works okay but it struggles lifting big fish sometimes. No worries though. So much fun! Makes me slow down and suck up a bit of trout oxygen."
Simon...way to flex that new yellow stick! It looks like it can get work done.

Love that shot with the rod bent in half! Simon is the man!
Me too, thats one sexy rod. Browns aren't too shabby either!
Man I thought this was going to be about a Eagle Claw Featherlight. That F2 looks pretty nice though.
