My nephew just graduated from the University of Virginia, so I decided to build him a rod for small mountain streams and spring creeks. It is a Tiger Eye 7'6" 3/4wt fly rod. The grip is Fenwick style, which I seem to be using on all of my lower weight rods. Wraps are candy apple red with gold trim. Due to the design of the grip and reel seat, I had to also wrap the reel seat hood.

I thought about using the University of Virginia colors, but orange and blue would look sort of ugly on a fly rod.
