Well Hello!!!

It's been a long time and a lot has happened. I'm looking at adding a  5'6" 0wt 4 piece to my herd. It's feather light and is amazing!! I need feed back!! Please text me 417-316-0250 or email me at mark@rdpflyrods.com.

 Hey all you Custom Fly Rod guys just wanted to tell everyone that I have a new size 0wt rod and 0wt blank!!!  9'4" 5pcs. It's really nice! I'll add pictures later. Thanks!!!

 Good Morning World! I haven't posted in a while and I don't know why. RDPflyrods is doing good and surviving this hectic and kayos world. I'm still putting in my 40 hours at Boyd Aluminum and building the fly rods. 

I'm really ashamed of the way our elected officials have been acting. We have a President that is doing nothing but trying to help us and on the other side we have a bunch of people that try to do nothing for us because of hate! This is REAL HATE!! The devil is working hard to destroy this country!! I'm 59 years old and I've never seen so much disrespect. If you don't respect someone don't expect to get it!!!! This soap box is getting big. But this is my blog and I'll say what I want. The biggest thing I see is if you are not trying to help someone YOU are part of the problem. NEVER once did the Dem's try to work toward something good. NOTHING BUT HATE!!! I have so much respect for someone that is not a politician that gives up his wealth and always on the go for good for his country. Shame on the Dem's!! SHAME on you all for following a Crazy Person that is insane!!!!! Have some balls and stand up for us not her hatred!!!

Here is a picture you all might enjoy!! Quite a change!!! 

World Record Triploid Trout!!!! 25lb 1oz caught on my RDP Owt fly rod!!!!

Okay everyone!!! Here is a picture of a 25lb 1oz Triploid Trout caught on my RDP 7'6" Owt fly rod!!! It was caught on Lake Rufus Woods in Washington. Caught by Lee Elton in 2012 on a #8 variation of a black wooly bugger. It's a line class WORLD RECORD!!!!!!!!!

Held my first rod building class a couple weeks ago. The class was a blast!!!! Great bunch!!!!

I'm back again!! I just wanted to say that I'm very blessed by the people that I meet thru Fly fishing and the rod business!! I can't imagine what my life would be like if my dad had not taken us to Roaring River all the time! Some of the best memories have water, trout and camping involved in it! God is Great and that's all the time!!!!!! My girls are a part of this also!!!
