7' Powells Creek
...for 3 weight line.
A superb casting rod of FE Thomas design. Just an incredible rod that both casts and fishes as well as anyone could wish. A nice smooth 3 wt. that is sensitive, accurate, and tenacious if need be.

7' Bear Valley
...for 3 weight line.
A medium fast 3wt. for those waters where a 3 weight is perfect...brookies! She'll make a brookie feel like a salmon all the while casting powerful tight loops. Watch out Ole Square Tail...the Bear is coming down the Valley.

7' Minnich's Hit
This rod is designed from bamboo tournament casting rods. Modified for fishing small streams, this 7' for 4 weight line casts beautiful, controlled tight loops.

7' Green Spring
...for 4 weight line.
A rod designed for our lesser know Cumberland Valley gem. A wonderful feel and a delightful medium fast rod.

7' Newcomer's Bend
A slow action rod for a 4/5 wt. line. Designed for a delicate presentation to those honey hole bends in our limestone streams. Inspired by an excellent gentleman who I only met momentarily on the Falling Spring, John Newcomer. Quite a sportsman.

7' Dietrich Select
...for 4/5 weight line.
A 7 foot offshoot of The Lucky Dutchman. A nice medium action rod that makes a 4wt. line sing.

7' Willow Beetle
A rod whose name was derived from the nickname the Cumberland Valley guys gave to all the beetles along the limestoners that collected in the willows. A full story is told in Ed Shenk's Fly Rod Trouting. A gorgeous casting rod that will easily pick up a weight forward 5 and deliver beautiful presentations on a 4wt. A nice medium action 7' rod.

7' Wicked:
A very fast tepered rod idea for casting tight loops under brush on small mountain streams. For 4/5 weight lines.

7' Keystone Country
A powerful medium action rod that is just a bit slower than the Clark's creek.

7' Spruce Creek
Created through repeated recommendations of an ideal rod to fish the entire length of this beautiful stream uninhibitted. The design is intentional for a quick strike when detecting a subsurface take. It will also quickly dry a fly on false casting if given a little extra check on the forward cast. .

7'6" Boswell's Blend
Designed with a bowl of Boswell's Best smoldering from my pipe created from the Father Son establishment, Boswell's Pipe Shop in Chambersburg. A medium action 3 wt. that's a pleasure to fish. A welcome companion to a Boswell Pipe.

7'6" Cross & Culver
A smooth casting medium fast rod. Handles fish beautifully and highly sensitive. For 3 weight line.

7'6" RED 764
A medium action rod for a 4 wt. line. Great for picking a wet fly right out of the water and keeping it drenched in it's own steady, easy manner. A smooth feel for laid back fishing. Get lost in the stream...be awakened by the strike!

7'6" Falling Springs
Paul Young's Perfectionist named for and benefitting our local treasure, the Falling Spring. Fifty dollars from each rod sold goes to the local TU Chapter. A talented master's design deserving of the Perfectionist label.

7'6" Jezebelle
Every fishing widow's nightmare...their husband out all day in "Catch and Release" waters(yeah right!)and having their hands all over some jezebel! Well this is one fine Jezebelle! The kind you'll have to slip in the back door to keep your wife from discovering. She's a beaut! Whe you feel her flex, you'll be hooked. And if you don't feel the least bit guilty fishing with your Jezebelle watching others slinging other rods...Shame on You! This 7'6" 4/5 weight is a beautiful medium fast rod that dampens incredibly well and shoots a line like no other.

7'6" Allegheny Special
A fast action 4/5 wt. rod. A powerful taper that will make your line move with accuracy and with the tightest loops you dare make. A small stream rod that will handle any stream you put her up against. Perfect for presenting dries on big rivers and "Chuck and Duck" nymph fishing.

7'6" Robb's Ripple
A medium action 5wt with an awesome power reserve. Just keep feeding out as much line as is needed. She'll do the rest. A great all around.

7'6" Allegheny Angler
A bit slower than the Allegheny Special with a little more of the classic smooth feel of a medium fast bamboo. A rod designed for quick response to subsurface takes before the trout can reject the the fly.

7'6" Clark's Creek
A crisp medium action 5wt. that will make the trip to the beautiful valley that cradles this stream all the more worth while. You'll be able to explore every bit with quick and accurate presentations. A nice, smooth, powerful rod.

7'6" Carlisle Springs
A smooth casting 5wt in a classic slow cane style. A beautiful, accurate taper that is just a delight to cast.

7'6" Kearney's Quest
A remarkable FE Thomas enigma. The taper is unique and perhaps...an accident? When the company was sold this hybrid of tip and butt were put together to create an amazing rod. An exceptional medium fast dry fly rod for the big streams. It will take your fly anywhere you want it to go.

7'9" The Guide
A slow action 4/5 wt. sure to guide your line exactly where you point it. No overpowering allowed here. The Guide won't allow it! Designed for sipping tea(or whatever else you're carrying in that flask...) in between the back and forward casts. A gorgeous feel if you can let yourself relax enough to find her rhythym.

7'9" Golden Trout
A smooth feel in a medium fast action 4/5 wt. design. The cast is felt well into the handle and every pulse of a fighting fish or a take is detected. You'll generate excellent line speed and enjoy the control.

7'9" J. Kelly Specialist
A medium fast taper that is quite pleasant to cast on small to larger streams. A tight loop and distance are a breeze with this rod. For 4/5 weight line.

7'9" Ferris' 50
A medium action 5/6 wt. rod that delivers a smooth, beautiful cast. With reserve power when needed, this is a rod for the most delicate of presentations where accuracy counts.

7'10" AK47
Designed for a famous AK to be a crisp, powerful dry fly rod. For 5/6 weight lines.

Norman Thayer 7'9"
A powerfully designed, all-around rod. East meets West with the 5/6 wt medium fast action"...like an old lion, he has to remind himself he can still roar." Catherine Hepburn in "On Golden Pond"
