Sorry to hear about your baby.Time heals all pain.
It died today......bigsteel and I went fishing up the Santiam....first the LNF where we both caught a lot of trout....then the swimmers came...grrrr. Headed to Kimmel Park in Mill City...more success....Then nature called....I rush up the bank, across the field, into the bathroom....bang...the door slams on my rod.....check it and I thought it was okay. We then headed to Stayton bridge....cast # 1 fish hitting fly...cast #2....fish hitting fly....cast #3......shirt!!!! Rod breaks.....
My 6 wt rod I have had since day one a year and a half ago...that has blessed me with many fish small and big....its dead.......traveled with me everywhere...it lies dormant in the tube.....I am sooo sad....
I did catch 2 trout on a very short fly rod with the end sticking out of my waders....hey I wasn't ready to call it a day yet.....still sad though
Rose, I am very sorry to hear ya broke your favorite rod.
I'll make ya an offer if you are interested. If you are not interested I understand. I will give you (free) a brand new, never used, 9' 6wt. 2-piece W.W. Grigg rod if you feel it will work for your needs??? It is old school (what I like), IM6 medium action and not one of the rocket fast actions many seem to like today. It has no rod tube with it.
Let me know if you think you are interested, and I won't be offended if you are not.

I'm sorry for your loss. You aren't the only one going through it though. I must have had a nick in her, went to cast a K9 Kwikfish and the top 8inches of my favorite rod snapped off. =0( I miss her so much!!!!!!!!!!
Bad news Rose but look on the bright side....it could have happened at the start of the season.
