Now that I look closer I see it is a medalist. Never seen one with a red spool. I’ve got a couple, one of which was my first fly reel. It stays on the shelf for the most part. I’m gonna take the 2 wt fly rod out in a bit (when it gets light) and harass some blue gills. Might take its mate, a spinning rod I made from one of the two blanks I bought a number of years ago. Those two little rods are a hoot to fish with. I’ll have to take my big pruners with me to clear away some of the brush that grew up in my favorite spot over the summer. Otherwise it’ll be tangle city.Things are slowing down at the course, but the grass doesn’t know that. We’ll be mowing into November most likely. We have bent grass tees, fairways, approaches and greens. The bent gets pretty sleepy this time of year, but the Kentucky Blue rough is going crazy. Takes 2 full time guys to keep it under control. .
RG is the grass code for something else? Wookie? I hear ya on getting the fly rod out, gonna my st. croix 8wt out next week for ontario fish. I made a 9wt Northfork/Loomis and love it, but over kill on the fall run fish in my view.
