The CFF auction for March is an 11’ 3wt Redington “Hydrogen” Euro Nymphing Rod. This super light weight rod (3.2 oz) retails for $299.95

Redington says, “Our Hydrogen rod family is designed especially for the trout angler and with three Euro-nymph models to complete the range, this family is at home on any trout water. These models feature a more sensitive tip for superior presentation control and strike sensitivity, allowing the angler to effectively fish any run and detect the slightest of hits. Skeletonized reel seats and single-foot guides help reduce weight, while the rod actions and models will match any trout fishing scenario. The Hydrogen Euro Nymph will allow you to increase your numbers, whether it’s a day of fishing with friends or trying to qualify for the world championships.

The 3110 HYDROGEN offers all the benefits of the 3100, but with an extra foot of length to offer more reach on bigger rivers and more control over your team of flies mid-drift.”

If you are a CFF member and want to make a bid go to Auctions.  This Auction will end at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, March 17 just before our club meeting.
