Dry Fly Taper - (Robert Nunley Jr.)caneman
After building and trashing 3 rods trying to get what I wanted, here is
my latest taper. I just finished the first "good" rod on this taper and
it casts like a dream. It is a DRY FLY rod, so if you like a soft tip
and strong butt, give it a try when your not so busy. I used a 9/64th
ferrule on this, but I make them in my shop. If you don't fab your own
ferrules, you could probably get by with a 10/64ths standard. Stress
curve looks a little strange on paper, but it works when you put a 2DT
line and an Adams on it.
