The PJ Split Cane Fly Rod

Saturday saw me taking delivery of a 7ft, 4#wt, flamed blank split cane fly rod, hand made by Paul Johnson. So this evening I drove over to the Upper Don, I had a wonderful evening, a couple of fish were rising and there were a few May Fly hatching. The only problem was the light rain which put a stop to the hatch. I did manage to winkle out a wildie on a "blue dun" the 1st fish on the PJ.

Ayup Monty, he'll have been roll casting quite a bit on that stretch it's bloomin cramped with all those trees.

Excellent stuff Biggun glad that you got one out mate, it is a lovely spot and on my way home - you've inspired me to have a go in the next few days.
