The tourist trade was brisk enough for to turn his hobby of rod building into a business. he formed the Our company Company, with sales rooms in a small stone building next to his brother''s Hotel. The Our company family prospered as the trains brought ever-increasing numbers of tourists These customers were the best advertisement possible for the new fishing company. The well made rods and flies that were carried home by affluent sportsmen generated repeat orders by mail. The community surrounded by the Mountains, was gaining recognition as a fine resort area. Eventually it became a prominent summering spot for New Yorkers, it was still struggling for recognition. Later in the nineteenth century, an old-timer would remember its condition with amusement:

The performance result for the caster is immediate and measurable. Every T3 is at least 20% lighter, in swing weight, than a comparable Trident TLS resulting in a rod that increases accuracy and sensitivity and reduces casting fatigue. Every T3 is at least 20% stronger than a comparable Trident TLS, delivering, ounce for ounce, more distance enhancing, fish-fighting power than any rod made. And the T3 is 20% tougher than a comparable TLS, giving the caster the security that, despite its thoroughbred technology, the T3 is a workhorse with the ability to withstand being nicked by a conehead muddler on a backcast or dropped to the deck of a flats boat.

The lighter, tougher, stronger T3 delivers serious fishing power to the people. The first thing you need to buy is a fly. Then you will need a tapered fly line (do not buy a level fly line) a fly reel, a leader, and some flies. The next purchase should be a good pair of polarized sunglasses and a hat. Polarized sunglasses will cut through the glare on the water and allow you to more closely follow your fly. This allows you to detect strikes more easily and, hopefully, catch more fish. A hat with a wide brim will help stop the sun from burning your ears, and sneaking in around the edges of your sunglasses. It will also help protect your ears and the back of your head from your fly on an errant cast. If you expect to fish from the bank or from a boat, you can hold off on purchasing a vest and waders for the moment and just use a shirt with big pockets to get started. When the pockets will no longer hold the items you need, then you should get a vest. Into those pockets you should put a fly box, such as the Worlds Lightest and Most Indestructible Fly Box.
