It has been 10 years since Dave passed away. I don't know if anyone on this AT site followed his work, or had contact with him. I ran a search on our site & did not find anything about him.
In any event, Dave had a rod building business, Performance Rods, and maintained a website with all sorts of information and tips on rod building. Since his death, his original site has gone blank, but his surviving spouse was able to restart it, and has maintained it for the angling community. The most recent web address for this site is davelewisflyrods.com. Worth a peek if you do any rod work.
