T.F.M. Spotting - Three Generations

For Shane Murphy, of Flatlander Fly Fishing, an old fiberglass fly rod that belonged to his grandfather is part of his angling history.  This spring he took Pap's old Martin Tuffy and give it a complete rebuild and then put that fly rod in his own son's hands.

Shane sent along a few images for the T.F.M. Spotting Photo Contest and it's really neat to see this fiberglass fly rod spanning three generations.




Check out these two Flatlander Fly Fishing blog posts for more on this story...

100 - PAP'S MARTIN TUFFY
A REINTRODUCTION OF SORTS

These blog posts are a stellar reminder that glass is not dead...even if you have to do a rebuild to keep it alive.
