Early Chas Farlow Maker Trout Fly Rod: One piece greenheart butt section fitted with brass reel seat and butt cap engraved Chas Farlow Maker 191 The Strand c.1852-1884. Both butt and mid-section have red painted whipped guides – the top section with drop rings but shortened – again red painted guides and repairs – pretty awful – nevertheless a good winter project – AF – in a weak moment I just liked the butt section. Note Normal service resumes with the next lot
