Feathers on a Forecast
I’ve been working on a 7wt 9’ 4 piece Forecast rod for my upcoming trip to the Green River in Utah.
After doing the original wraps and feather inlay, I accidently turned off the motor on my dryer and all of the epoxy ran in to a big blob! I had to carefully cut it all off. I ended up having to sand the blank, which removed some of the blue finish on the first 6” of the rod. After thinking about alternative fixes, I chose to do a full feather inlay/wrap using 57 Silver Doctor Blue dyed grizzly hackles. Used Teal Gudebrod and black and white accent wraps.
