Okay….check this bamboo rod out!

I switched lines today…..5 wt instead of shitty short heavy mystery line…..no longer a fowl caster! It kinda sings (or quacks) now…..40’ lawn casting. Now I need the weather to cooperate to feed the duck!!
I'm just a little bit north of you and it looks pretty nice out there. Certainly better than this computer screen!

Unfortunately for the type of lake fishing I’m doing…….it has to be zero wind and has a super short window of opportunity…….and the Husky game! And what a great game!!

Thanks for the inspiration!

As they say...."Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery".

That's my grandfather's Pflueger Sal-Trout Model 1554.20240115_141646.jpg

Right on Krusty!!……I had to go check to see if my duck was still here! How long did you make yours? Try casting it yet? Is yours fiberglass? I’ve made several other outta the box bamboo Hotrodz if you’re looking for some other crazy shit to build while it’s too cold to fish…..

Thank you!

I used a 4.5' fiberglass tip from a old spinning rod.

I'd be a bit leery about casting it...its just stuck in a piece of select grade white pine. Probably would splinter the duck's nose.

So it will reside in my den, next to my Big Mouth Billy Bass and Rocky Rainbow Trout singing fish mounts....as a reminder of one of my most favorite movies.

Obviously, I'm a man of refined taste and culture.
 
What? No luv for brown trout or brookies? They are so beautiful 😍
