Back up the east side, another nice baetis hatch on the river peaking at about 8PM. Missed 5 or 6 rises, caught another nice 14er and a few 12ers. Size 16 para BWO with a light color wing.

Oh yeah, I got my replacement rod tip from Okuma. I broke it last week on the same water, went down to Okuma's branch in Ontario and walked out 15-20 mins. later with a new tip. Got some revenge with the 4wt.!!!! Glad to have it back, I love my Okuma 4 wt.

Man, I hate work. Wish I could have gone with you. It's been days since I've been trout fishing.

Okuma replaced your rod tip? Didn't know they did that kind of service on their fly rods...was it expensive? May have to consider Okuma rods!

Yep, they replaced it. I walked into the Ontario location and it was handed to me so I can't vouch for mail-in warranty info. It was free of charge for the replacement as it was broken under normal wear-and-tear. I have the Guide Select 4 wt. and brand new it was about 100$.
