"RETRO GROUCH" On The Ruby River

Recently Bob Foresti, a.k.a. "RETRO GROUCH", returned from a few summer days out in Montana sent sent along a photo and report from an excellent day on the Ruby River. 

Bob wrote..."I was using an old Fenwick FF96-6, 2/1, 5 weight which is perfect for tossing clumsy hoppers into tight quarters and often under windy conditions.  Feel free to blog it as I'm sure the folks would enjoy the accolades for their much appreciated contributions to our recreational pursuits."


"Uh...by the way, there were an awful lot of folks using grrrraphite out there.  It's a terribly serious situation but no one would listen despite repeated efforts.  I was beat up in three bars, thrown out of two fly shops in Bozeman, pushed into the Madison River at $3 Bridge, and tossed over the Holter Dam.  Thank goodness for the deep plunge pool at it's base... ;-)

GRRRouch!"
