        <![CDATA[ I had a small electrical job today and got home early. I kept thinking about my Shakespeare 3 piece fly rod, (Howald process). Time to throw a line. I think
it&#39;s nine foot. I put a Cortland 444 peach colored WF-8-F fly line. It was like magic. Beautiful pick up, full flex and shoots out 90 ft of line. I have
cast many fly rods in my life. I think this 3 piece has found a special place in my heart. I can&#39;t wait to throw deer hair bugs on theis rod.


I wonder when this rod was made? ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Had a small window of time before I had to be somewhere after work last night and so itching to cast my newly assembled Garcia Pflueger outfit I stopped at a
Cranberry bog pond for some casts. Forgot my gloves so this was a brief visit in yesterdays biting cold breezes. The bog owner has opened the flue on this pond
too so it was literally a mudhole. But on my last cast I managed a very healthy looking 7 inch largemouth. Yeah first fish of 2008!

king
