I wanted a very special fly rod to enjoy fishing in 2016 ....... and I now have it :X4
Designed, rolled and built in Scotland :z12
And ..... we are building five of these awesome rods, which will be available as a one off very limited edition in 2016, just in time for the new trout season!
More details will follow next month.

sorry to get all geek but do you have CSS data on this beaut ? Sandy ?

No, not yet Marc,
Sounds like a great excuse to visit Banff and ( drink Magnum's coffee :z4 ) ask Magnus if he'll measure it for me.
Cheers

i've heard there's a nice marine aquarium to visit in Banff. is it worth the detour for a foreigner visiting the area ?

It's next door in Macduff http://www.macduff-aquarium.org.uk/ and although I confess I haven't been to it myself I have heard enough to think that you'd be better off at Magnums drinking his coffee and taking the dog for a walk :wink
H :cool:

I've received lots of enquiries about the rods since posting this, I don't think these are going to be available for long :cool:

If you like North Sea fish and don't mind looking at deformed Cod and Pollock, its a great place to visit. Seriously though, its good at what it does, educate school kids, but its not am aquarium with stunning reef fish and corals to delight you. Everything is brown! lol

brown is good ! :z4 thanks Rob :z16

Just released on the website and available to order :cool:
Barrio SCF 903 9ft 3wt limited edition fly rod .... the fifth and last rod in this limited edition of five rods.
This could quite possibly be the last rod to be 'rolled in Scotland', I have no plans for any more rods in the future and I very much doubt that I could convince David to come out of retirement again.
