I’m a blacksmith who lives on the Trinity River in Northern California. A neighbor asked if we could make them an address sign with a fly fishing theme, and so this is what we came up with. They asked us to blur their address for privacy.
The rod is forged and drawn out from a 4’ piece of 1” round bar. The reel and sign backing were cut and forged from 410 stainless. Copper was used for the rod guide wrapping and the line itself.

Dope! Never seen a 1000wt rod. She’s a beaut Clark!
That going to used some very heavy line. Looks good
Personally I prefer a slower action rod that bends all the way down to the butt, but that’ll certainly get the job done. /s
Great job and gorgeous work!!
Poor guy got hooked through the nose. Hope it’s barbless and comes out easy.
On the scale of not cool to cool, I have ranked this extremely cool.
