A hand-planed split-cane fly rod blank built on the classic Lyle Dickerson 7613 taper — one of the most sought-after 5-weight tapers in bamboo rodmaking. This blank is signed "Angler's Roost · 7'6" 5wt · Dickerson 17613."
The Dickerson 7613 is a 7'6" two-piece design for a #5 line, known for its crisp, fast-side-of-medium action — a versatile trout taper with the delicacy to lay down dry flies and enough backbone for light nymphs and small streamers.
