Well I received a nice new fly fishing pole that my daughter bought for me for my birthday (took awhile). I got all excited, yes it is the rod I wanted so I can actually bring it on the plane when I visit them in Colorado and do some fly fishin ... Guess what

The Orvis (one of the great american fly fishing companies since the 1800's).. yup .. their fly rods are yup Made in China !!!

Everything is today I guess .. I have nothing against China made, heck .. but ORVIS .. come on is nothing sacred !!
