RT, yes the Winston headquarters is still located just south of the town of Twin Bridges. We pass the shrine often. After being tempted so often, I finally had to shell out. One of the best decisions I've ever made. I bought a 2 piece, 9 foot, 4 weight and have enjoyed fishing those great waters with a home-grown rod. Beautifully built, with lots of power and punch for such a light rod. Only thing I'd change would be to get the same rod in a 3 piece, just for the travel convenience. Yes, what a job it would be to be a Winston field tester in SW Montana. Imagine the overtime hours you might log!
