Hi David,
  Sorry to be so long in getting back to you. Got involved with some
steelheads and chinooks. A 42 inch chinook will just not be rushed.
  I miked two Orvis Flea rods in 1970. They tracked each other pretty well.
I liked the rods so I built a few. Here are the numbers measured over
varnish: 1-078, 5-093, 10-105, 15-117, 20-128, 25-140, 30-153, 35-155, 40-
166, 45-185, 50-196, 55-205, 60-217, 65-234, 70-263. The top guide was size
5 and the ferrule was size 10. 
  Just in case anyone else might be interested I'll post this to the list. Bill
