Re Accuracy - timothy troester

the bill warra 7 1/2 ft 5wt

tip: .072 .092 .108 .124 .140 .158 .170 .184 .196 .210
butt:.210 .220 .230 .240 .250 .280 .306 .325 .325 .325
ferrule: 13/64
guide spacing-rod assembled: tip 4" 8.5" 14" 20" 27"
34" 42" ferrule 51" 61.5"

 this is the rod as listed in the planing form by john
long.  this is a "western style" dry fly rod.  to me
it makes a better 6wt.  i would also use a 14/64
ferrule because the dia at the ferrule is just a hair
over.   timothy
