So, here is a little fly rod I just turned on the lathe. My Uncle Wayne in Oregon requested a tiny reel and fly rod be made for a neighbor of his. They both live on a small private lake inhabited by fat little rainbow trout. Here, this mini rod sits next to a 6 weight for comparison. It's not the absolute smallest rod blank to do this on but this 6 foot, 3 weight St. Croix, Avid will work just fine. [Downlocking nickel silver butt cap and aluminum slide ring. J.
