Yesterday this image popped up on the Tiemco Instagram page and while I try to run down some additional information to share on the latest generation of Fenwick Yellow Glass, you can visit the Tiemco website to sort out some of the basic information.
This 5th generation of the Fenwick Yellow Glass, available in Japan, has five fly rods in the collection from a 6'6" 3-weight to a 7'3" 5-weight. All of the line weights and lengths look very interesting to me and when doing a YEN to USD conversion, they are priced at $300 or less. Getting one stateside might take some doing but would be worth the trouble if they cast anything like previous generations.
If you get into the "wayback machine" you'd find an early T.F.M. dispatch where I took a Japanese Fenwick Yellow Glass pack rod to Wyoming and caught a banger Bonneville Cutthroat on a dry fly. I guess sepia tone filters were the rage in 2008 and I should try to hunt down the originals from that trip on a long lost external drive. That fish really started it all here almost 18 years ago. Crazy.
Visit the Tiemco website for more info on this yellow glass collection. Which one(s) would you order?
