Re [clean] RE Catskills (Devine Fairy) - Douglas P. Easton
Hi Guys,
Thanks for the nice comment ,Bob. The taper is different. The tip is quite
a bit finer. It is my modification of the taper in the archives. I think it
is a sweet little rod at 30-25 ft. I have landed some fish in the
13-14" range with it and they weren't tired enough to stay in my hands.
Since I have had a number of requests for this taper here it is:
Rod: Divine Fairy Fly Rod DPE version
Length 7'6"
Pieces: 3
Uses super step down ferrules
Action length 75"
Blank with ferrules measured 9/12/03
Tip
0 . 050
5 .068
10 .080
15 .100
20 .105
25 .115
30 F #9
35 .140
40 .165
45 .180
50 .189
55 F #13
60 .202
65 .220
70 .230
75 .245
80 .245
Cheers,
-Doug
