Thanks for the welcome. Right now Dwight is finishing up some preservation work on an 8' 6" Goodwin Granger Favorite, a real oldy with the slide band seat and the name stamped on the seat. 99% of the wraps are original but the varnish was drying out and shrinking back so Dwight is taking care of that. I wouldn't trust a Granger to anyone else.

Welcome to the Fiberglass Flyrodders! If you use the search there are more photo posts of Dwight Lyons built rods in the forum. You are right, he does excellent work.

The Fisher and Hardy rod blanks have always had a very similar cosmetic look. With time the designs from the two companies diverged, particularly the graphite rods. Eventually Fisher closed up shop, but Hardy's Alnwick operation diversified to include other advanced composite products.

I think it's interesting that it's a Fisher blank finished out in the Hardy cosmetics. IIRC, according to the Johnson and Johnson book, Fisher actually built Hardy's plant for making the Hardy glass rods such as the JET so there's a real connection between Hardy and Fisher. It's pretty neat... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (greg hall) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/73340 Thu, 23 Jul 2009 08:56:52 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/73221/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-73221 feeds@yuku.com (Guadalupe Bass) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/73221 Mon, 20 Jul 2009 20:08:25 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72909/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72909 feeds@yuku.com (swalker9513) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72909 Wed, 15 Jul 2009 08:58:02 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72903/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72903 I fine tribute very very nice !

Well, I just got back from lawncasting the rod with a WF5 (can't remember the line brand). Simply, it's one of the smoothest casting rods in any material that I own. Heck, even my wife (who truly cares more about tomato stakes than fly rods) couldn't hide a little grin after she figured out the slower action of the Fisher blank. feeds@yuku.com (docbluedevil) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72887 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 21:55:00 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72864/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72864 feeds@yuku.com (scud dog) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72864 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 16:57:50 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72856/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72856 feeds@yuku.com (Vix) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72856 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 13:50:43 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72846/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72846 feeds@yuku.com (Boo) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72846 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 10:50:25 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72843/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72843 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Cameron) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72843 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 09:07:35 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/reply/72824/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html#reply-72824 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (gearboy) http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/sreply/72824 Tue, 14 Jul 2009 03:40:18 GMT http://fiberglassflyrodders.yuku.com/topic/9587/t/Dwight-Lyons-Hardy-Tribute-rod-on-Fisher-8-0-5-wt-blank.html
