I won't go into details, but my father is a moron, and needs money by the end of the month or his 79 year old ass is going to forfeit living indoors. (For the past nearly 2 years, he's been thinking paying property taxes was optional).

If you know of anyone that is interested in fly fishing, I'm going to be putting a bunch of his fly rod collection up for sale. Many of these rods are very valuable, and I'm going to be loosing them on Ebay in the next 24-72 hours for pricing that will seem a bit crazy. But to lessen the fees, I'll be happy to sneak a list to anyone that might be interested. Most of these are going to be less than 50% off of the retail cost. and some are VERY highly collectible, including about a dozen bamboo rods from the likes of Thomas & Thomas, Rick Robbins, and my father (who used to make rods for Thomas & Thomas).
Though, there are some very nice fiberglass and graphites from Sage, Fenwick, Orvis, Redington, Scott et.al. that shouldn't be overlooked.
Prices on these range from about $100 for graphites to more than $3k for some of the special bamboos.
If you or someone you know might be interested in getting a great fly rod at a great price, let me know and I'll pass on the list. Or if you'd like to adopt a 79 year old baby, I am taking offers (any offer in fact and he's yours).

Shoot me a list, I've got a buddy that is into boo rods. I'd like to be into boo rods but I just can't afford that Leonard that I would really want. I just know this list is gonna make me cry.

Ugghhh! I'd love to get in on some of these, but I don't think I could come up with the funds in your time frame.

Best of luck with your sale and taking care of your FiL.

Sorry Sir Falcone, these are all 8 or lower weight and I believe fresh water rods.
Thank you for asking though. If anyone else wants the list, let me know. I'm still taking photos and putting them up on ebay, but I can pull or hold some if there is interest.
