My buddy built a 6'6" medium light rod for me on a St Croix scv blank. He put titanium guides on it and made a burled cork handle. I put a chronarch 50MG on it. It is a beautiful rig and a joy to cast. Light as a feather. Before I use a new reel I strip it down and clean all the factory grease out of it. Then I polish with jewelers rouge the spool shaft, inside the pinion gear, the brake ring and the drag faces. then I use a little powdered graphite on the drag and Quantum hot sauce on the gears and bearings. Makes a good shimano even better. turp

Itis, but my buddy has been going there for years and they let us fish. They are making it a corporate retreat, building cabins all over. I don't know how long we can keep going there.

Three of us went to springrise (Westover) Saturday before last. We caught in excess of 200 trout. Lots of 6" to 8" fish, but 9 or 10 over 18". There are several fish in there from 4-6 pounds. Chamois worms, small jigs and roostertails did the best.
