"Noris" Fly Rod, European
This one took forever! I did several other jobs in between but honestly put off work on those infuriating intermediate wraps. I had to do 4-6 at a time and then put coat of preserver to keep from "exploding" (unwrapping, a common problem when you only do 4-5 wraps of thread). I have to admit I do like the signature wraps on the butt section and I really like this color combination, olive & red. Had to replace every guide and I re-stained the reel seat. From what I can find online, this was made by DAM of Germany (?). Tentative casting before I started work indicated a DT6 or maybe a WF5. I will try to add some notes after I cast it. Not sure if I will post this on EBay or try to sell it locally.
