I built a Dan Craft Green Rivers 9'5 wt, truly love the rod.
Unfortunately, I cannot get a back up, since it appears Dan's shop is closed.

Recommendations for a blank as similar to as possible

Thank you,

Paul Kolis

Paul
Is the Green River a 3 or 4 piece blank? VERY dark green - bordering on Black? Nice medium action - Not nearly as fast as his FT?

Paul,
The CTS Affinity-X #5 would be similar - BUT - a #5 FT would have to be overlined with a #7 line. So if your Green River is similar to the FT - did you have to overline it??
