Montague Fishkill in Progress

An elegant 9.5' rod that was part of a bundled buy. I wasn't able to cast it in its original state, but it is a light rod and I am thinking it will have power and delicacy with a 6 wt. line. The varnish was totally shot and I still have some polishing left to do on the fittings, but I really like the color of the cane. The yellow silk thread should pop when complete. I am about to give the butt a final clean with 0000 steel wool, then the alcohol wipe before I tackle those intermediate wraps. 

 Okay, got in the finished shots.  Really like the way it turned out, an elegant 6-7 wt. rod.  I will probably try to sell at the next OPTU swap meet.
