Just A Reminder For All Flyfishers

[lee G.]

Never, never take a flyrod out of the tube in a room with a ceiling fan!

That goes for conventional fishermen as well

Yeap!

My son came over to pick up his flyrod, he had it laying out in the garage, it was so dirty i felt sorry for him.

I was looking at one of my old rods thinking i would give to him, Don't do that in the bedroom with the fan on, lol.

No damage done fan was on low and just a tick, so he gets a better rod and reel than he has now!

Unless it is an Orvis rod still under warranty, then it only costs you $25. No questions asked warranty.

Years ago it used to be a free fix or replacement. They would even upgrade sometimes. But times have changed.

I have replaced a high end rod twice, it failed by a nick in the graphite made by a chuck and duck weighted fly in Alaska. They finally upgraded it to an even higher end rod the second time.

Another time, the tip was rolled up in a power window of a car. It was repaired like new but an inch shorter.

Ceiling fans will never out do car doors or river brush.
