Sandy Nelson of Sandy's Custom Fly Rods and I have been trading messages and realized that we both have a significant birthday this year in turning fifty. Sandy's birthday is a few months before mine but we've both been thinking of ways of "treating ourselves" to a few fine things this year.
This Tom Morgan Rodsmiths 8' 5-weight is a thing of beauty.

Sandy wrote... "A special build for my significant birthday this spring. A Tom Morgan Rodsmiths 8’ 5-weight two-piece glass with Bellinger downlocking nickel silver hardware and Amboyna reel seat. I used Marcia’s best cork, Struble lava agate stripping guide, smoked Snake Guides and wrapped this fly rod in Kimono 316 Lego Brick silk.
I kept it clean and classy in the TMR style but
with a dollop of me in there, too. Have to say I’m blown away by how
smooth and silky it is to cast. Roll on the glorious 15th. Happy Birthday to me."
