Lang s auction taper - Marty D.


Here is a Paul Young Driggs River that I miked at the Lang's auction. It 
is serial numbered from Paul's era and has a medium fast dry fly action 
rather then the extremely parabolic action I was acustom  to seeing from 
the listed tapers. .004" already deducted for varnish.  Marty DeSapio
