rod 'noted as' the "FES" probably the best low water summer/fall spey rod ever built. Old story on how the rod got it's 'designation' so I'll spare you.
Simply put, Bob Meiser builds the best spey rods going regardless of price.... and he's far less expensive. His rods (prior to intro to the public) are 'beat to heck' in real life fishing conditions .. not just casting. The two are very, very different situations.
Miez' build 'fishing tools.' Nuff, said.

Yup, want to get one Fred. Those were BEAUTIFUL rods. I was drooling. Then watching you and a few others use them were great. Heard nothing but good things about them. So, looks like I'll have one or two of Bob's rods someday soon (I hope).

Too bad they are not available in the great lakes region to look at and pilot test.

I would bet Meiz would send you a demo (and I'll send some cheese to go with that last post) if'n you asked, Hal!
Seriously. If you are truly interested, email him. He does send demos out.

YUP! All you have to do is call, leave a credit card number as a security deposit, and he will send you the model you are interested in to try to your heart's content!
(But Hal's too "economically prudent" [cheap] for even that!) What excuse will he come up with NOW???

I cannot evaluate what I cannot touch and feel and thats the bottom line when it comes to almost anything.
"Touch me, feel me, hold me" etc.. any one know what group sang that song ?

But you CAN touch and feel it... or at least there is a process to allow that.
I'm not going to touch the lyrical references...

I TOLD you that Hal is super-cheap! Hell, all he does is talk about fishing. And probably fishes with a Snoopy Rod that he stole from some little kid!

Yeah Hal, they are VERY nice rods. Call Bob and have him send you one.
BTW, it's the Who that sang that song.

I thought this thread was about Jerry meeting Fred, et. al.
Why has it turned into trivia and obfuscation, Hal??? Get it back on track, guys....

LOL Bob. Ok, ok, ok, I got it.
But sure was damned nice meeting Fred. Especially meeting that fine bottle of scotch too.  Plus meeting H2H, and a few others (and found out I was STANDING next to a few others and didn't know it).

LOL. Yeah, and glad to finally meet you......AGAIN! LOL. Once I saw you, I remembered you at the clave. We'll have to get together and tie sometime. Hopefully when I get the next guild going, you'll be there.

No problem, I'll be sure to make it. Maybe you'll tell me what I'm doing wrong. Besides leaving off the hackle on the last bunch of flys I sent!!!!!
I'd really hate being absent-minded if I hadn't always been that way!! LOL

visiting the States? A joint trip would be a gas to put it mildly. If not something he's looking at in a reasonable time frame ... we'll just have to do two trips .. mine 'and his.'

No I haven't Fred. I just need to know when he's planning to shoot over this way. I can arrange something. If not, we can do the "your trip his trip". But, you always have an open seat in my boat. Hoping to be able to row here in another 2 months or so (HOPEFULLY!!!).

Ok Ok I'm trying but the number of internet friends I've made it will have to be a long trip. How can I load a case of whisky in a suitcase + fishing tackle and spare socks.

Don't worry about the spare socks and fishing tackle. Between Fred and I you're covered. Just bring the whisky.

Hey Malcolm when you fly over the GLs heading west like most other fly fisherman think of me spey fly fishing in solitude, no daily fishing fee, lots of public water and lots of bright chrome fish less than 50 miles from the big lakes.
Consider stopping by for a GLs blue ribbon tour of several of our spey rivers.

Actually, bring the socks; at the current exchange rates you'd be money ahead buying the 'booze' over here. Per one of your posts on the UK board it appears you folks get 'hammered' on taxes!
Rods we've got ... and I know how to 'pick the lock' on Meiser's home in Medford. Thank goodness he doesn't keep too good a score on 'current inventory.'

Everything is expensive over there and I am heading to Deutsche land first week of May it appears. The prices of the US fly fishing tackle when I was in Europe last were out of sight. No wonder they love Ebay sales. LOL
I will not be buying anything there other than German Biers - Swi beers I say in the Hofbrauhaus of Frankfurt am Main. Yes I know its streets and other dark areas well from my 7 month USAF tour at Rhein Main AFB a few mile from the Kaiserstraffe of Frankfurt, aah what memories of young american soldier in a far off land.
LOL
