Just watch where you cast it.  Bob warned me to be careful what I cast towa=
rds & I didn't listen.  Knocked over a VW Bug.

Hey guys=2C
=20
Just trying to line up some tapers to grind out this spring/summer (does th=
at sound good right now or what?).  I do some streamer fishing on the PM an=
d Little Man in MI on occasion=2C among other streams (even smallmouth here=
 at home).  I'd like to make an 8 footer.  Thinking 6wt over 5wt due to the=
 weight of some of the flies.  Wouldn't I be looking for a somewhat heavier=
 tip and/or a bit slower action in the middle?  Not sure.  What would you g=
uys recommend as a starting point/taper?  Sorry if this has been gone over =
before.  Thanks for any input.
