Thanks for your enthusiasm and good humor... what do you think of the attached... I need to build a "sizzle" page to accompany the detail with my auction item.
Thoughts, suggestions... what would you do different???

Thanks,
GH

See you on the river - your rods are extremely cool have I told you that today??

A "one-hour" trip to the river turned into three. I tried two reels on it - my Sage 3300 with Rio floating line (5 wt) and my little gold Loomis with Sharkskin line...
Both worked very well, but I liked the Sharkskin the best and absolutely loved the rod!! Awesome. Really. You got me. I have to build one and now I have a million questions. My plan is to fish this rod every day this week, if that's OK. I'll take good care of it - it's drying out in my office right now - is there anything else I need to know about "caring" for it before or after I fish it??
Caught two nice cuts on it, by the way... a cosmic experience.
See you on the river.

Let's do that again please.

At 12:07pm on April 3, 2009, Greg Hatten said…: Chet... heard back from Matt - he's out for Sunday. My plans are a little sketchy now anyway... it's raining right now!!! Where is spring????
Let's save the fishin for next Sat... you want to float in my boat for the TU "March Brown" outing?? Matt said he was going to send something out but I haven't see anything yet.

At 7:55am on April 1, 2009, Greg Hatten said…: Chet... very cool - glad you're coming down for the show... your buddy with an interest in wooden boats will be pretty entertained, I think. No worries about the float... I've got my hands full that morning.
Fishin on Sunday - I'll check with Matt... rivers should be droppin but I think he has parents in town?? I'll let you know.
This hatch is perfect 4wt fishing..

At 9:42pm on March 30, 2009, Greg Hatten said…: Chet... we just added a sign-up for the Boat Parade prior to the Boat Festival... just a little "float" from Finn Rock to Eagle Rock from 10 to 11... you need to be right in the middle of this thing!! Ride in my boat?? I'm the "boat wrangler" at the Finn Rock put-in - should be fun. We'll have 15 to 20 "wooden boats on the water"... GH

At 8:14pm on March 18, 2009, Greg Hatten said…: Cool. I'm figuring out the rail... I found it today at a salvage yard - came out of an old bar... it's too heavy for the passenger seat, so I'm back to the floor. Got a couple of ideas I think you'll like.

At 6:49am on March 18, 2009, Greg Hatten said…: I haven't sourced a rail, but it's out there. Gotta be a permanent fixture I think and needs to be bolted pretty securely... there are times when I will be pushing very hard on it... I'll keep tinkering. Sounds like you are a "buildin machine"... I need to come up and watch you work sometime. How bout reels - did you buy that part of the business??
