The Francis Francis Portfolio (The Flyfisher's Classic Library) 9 Weight One of my favorite salmon

One of my favorite salmon tiers who is sadly missed - in fact

Grip may have been cleaned and there is a small chunk of cork missing near the hood (pictured)

as I would later changed my 2-pc design to a more moderate action in order to offer a wider range of taper options

All sections are full length and the rod appears to be original although well used
