Mark, that's perfect for small stream trout. your friend is gonna love it
Ready to heat treat.
This is for a buddy that’s never fished bamboo before but is an avid fly fisher. I was thinking of a small stream dry fly taper. I’d normally experiment a little, but I don’t want to mess up his impression of bamboo with possibly a less than proven taper.
It’ll be 7’6” anywhere from a 3wt to 5wt.
Any suggestions as to a taper? I have an idea for one, but figured it’d be a good idea to brainstorm a little before I start final planing.
Thx for input,
Mark

A Dickerson 7613 (7'6") is a great transition taper for a plastic convert. Pretty fast action and really a sweet casting rod. If you want, you can cast mine for an idea of the action.

Thanks Mike. I'll do some research on it.

I decided to take your advice and am going with the Dickerson 7613. I was going to go with a Perfectionist as I really like mine, but after reading the posts, this sounds like a great taper and my buddy could even throw the occasional small streamer with it. Sounds great for the Yak as an all purpose rod. I have to admit I'm curious as to how it feels, so I can't wait to throw a line on it when done.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Mark
Thanks for the suggestion.
