I found a near mint condition W&M Granger Aristocrat, 7ft, 4 weight (2/2) for sale. The seller is asking $1000.00. What do you all think? Many years ago I had the same rod in 7.5ft, 5wt, and had to sell it. I've been bemoaning this fact for 25 years because I love the shorter Grangers so much.

I may have been there, but being 71, and after a lifetime of fishing, I start getting confused😀. Beautiful lake

Boy does that name bring back fond memories. Bradner's fishing guides were the only ones my dad would buy. He was quite a guy. I really like your style, Dave, and being a former Trailblazer I always enjoy your choice of fisheries.

I'm coming in to this thread a bit late. This is pretty shocking news. I have some very fond memories of fishing with Tim in the tree farm, camping and fishing with him at Kelly Creek, or attending the bamboo rod conventions at the Metolius River. He was always a quick witted guy with a grin and...

Wonderful place.

Nice. I'm a CS&K tribal member. Did you find these guys near the Missions?

Gorgeous rod!

I've been in Normandy for the 80th D-day Anniversary events. Hope to make it next year.

I didn't know that. He does have an interesting sense of humor. I attended only one of the Metolius gatherings and I had a great time and learned a lot just from hearing guys chatting with each other. Fun times.

These are so cool. A robuilder friend of mine built a one piece rod from some bamboo growing in his yard and he was amazing at how well it cast.

Sweet. Beautiful ties.

Beautiful!

You're gonna have a ball. I have a 7ft 4wt bamboo stick that I love for small streams.

Guys, I'll be out of town on vacation during this time and I won't be able to make it. Next year for sure! Cliff

My goodness, you post the coolest bamboo rod and fish pictures I've ever seen.

I love VOF. My mom & dad used to go to Vegas all the time. My mom loved playing slots for hours on end, but my dad and I were bored to tears with gamboling, so we would always drive out to the VOF to explore. It's such an incredible place. Did you see "Mouse's tank"? I also used to go on...

Thanks Mike. I might not be able to make it, but Robert Kope may show up.

The first Sunday in June is June 2nd. Has anyone agreed to what time the meetup is? Cliff

Sounds good to me, Mike.

That would be my preference, also. Years ago I went to the Bamboo Rodmakers gatherings a couple of times on the Metolius River and it was really nice to be able to fish. One day, maybe.
