Mike Clark Bamboo Fly Rod 8'6" 2/2 #5 7'11" Quite a serviceable and fishableA nice Mike Clark (South Creek Limited) bamboo fly rod, 8'6", 2 piece, 2 tip, built for a #5 line. Serial #201227. The rod weighs 5. 4 ounces on my scale. Medium action. Very light use, bordering on lawn cast only.

Brown wraps with an agate stripper and
