...a bunch of Parker juniors running around...

...I guess that is not as bad as the possibility of bunches of little KidSauks everywhere!!!

I was standing there when the lady took that pic. The big one truly was a PIG. Quite a few big fish in that river.... I was suprised. My buddy and I were in the area working, and neither one of us with our boats... bummer. Anyways, we rented a little boat, and a couple of old sturgon style boat rods and managed to hook 3 land 1 that afternoon. It looked like a guppy in compared to whats hanging in the pic above.

HBP, I had Greg up at Greg's Custom Rods build me a Rainshadow 1264 a couple of years ago. Been using it for mooching in Sitka and also doubles as a float rod for when the chumkins come around in the fall. I love it. Don't know anything about TH rods. Greg's is located in Lake Stevens so he is real close to you and does great work. You pick your colors for your wraps, pick your guides, he'll put your name on the shaft etc. Pretty kool. Greg has also been real active in fish conservation. Greg's number is 425-335-1391.

Thanks Beezer...I went to Greg's before I sent TH my money. Greg had some very nice rods built that I could look at. The reason I didn't go with Greg's is that TH would build the same rod for $40 less,and the time frame was the same.If Greg's was a faster turn-around time I would have paid more to get it faster.

I am going to go thru Greg's rod building class.My wife heard that and just shook her head...she says all I need is another expensive hobby.
