Re Suggestions for a 7- 7.6 ft 5wt. rod - Harry Boyd

Randall,
        Perfect candidate for the rod I keep harping about,
the Payne 101.  It's very fast for bamboo, and at 7'6" - 5
weight, it fits the bill perfectly.  Remember the three rod
blanks I was working on at the Sowbug Roundup?  All were
Payne 101 copies.  Dennis Higham first recommended this rod
to me, and I've built half a dozen or more in the last year.

        Tell you what -- look up Scott Branyan
(www.ozarkflyfliner.com ??) over in Rogers.  Tell him I said
to let you try out his rod.  That'll sell you for sure.

        Harry
