F. COOKE < FC1914@aol.com > Brooklyn, NY USA - Saturday, July 12, 2003 at 22:46:27 (CDT) really nice site! Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix < harry@hotmail.com > washington, dc usa - Friday, June 20, 2003 at 04:34:18 (CDT) Earlier this year I attended the Capitol Region TU show and bid on a beautiful, 2 tipped fly rod. Amazingly, my bid won the rod. Later this summer I plan to do some fishing in appropriate settings and will report back to you on how I like it. There was nothing with the rod to indicate the weight line it was designed for but I am guessing perhaps 2 and 4wt. Perhaps you could provide some additional guidance. I too worked for the federal govt but retired 10 years ago after 22 years as an officer in the USPHS. Most of my time was spent in New Mexico working with the Indian Health Service. Presently I work half-time at our local hospital and try to get out fishing as often as I can (not enough). Many years ago I made several fly rods but never really got into the details of design. I still use a Sage blank I made and an old 3M graphite that has the metal ferrules. It is fun but I still prefer to use the tools - not make them.

At this time I have several commercial and charter captains for whom I do repair work, and also a semi-professional bass fisherman who trusts me to "talk through a needs-to-design" for specific fishing applications. In starting off in this venture I have made a conscious decision to provide the highest quality work at the most reasonable rate.
