Hello All, Im will be trying to get this part of the profile up and running and share a little of the collection and the stuff I like to fish. Primarily, I am a small stream fisherman and like to get up in the high country when I can. I spent lots of time on a tailwater on the Rogue in Oregon, and had some incredible dry fly fishing with a #18 low water caddis when the hatch was on in very early May.......below are a couple of fairly recent additions to my collection Bogdan reels a big #3 Salmon in all gold in case I get invited to fish with the Prince of Wales,or Duke of Edinburgh. Yes, I am joking ! The others are scarce Single action 00 reels These are my favorite Bogdans easily fishable with 6 to 9wt lines for any freshwater fish these are the smallest Bogdans with the famous "Salmon reel adjustable drag" I was very fortunate to get these and they are going to stay with me for awhile ! This is in construction.....but the pictures and captions are real.....more later

Bob Summers Model 300 Special order One of a kind instead of the 7 1/2ft 4wt #275 This was built for a longtime customer of Bob's to be a little more powerful for a 5wt line. It is in near mint condition !

A few little American Vom Hofe made reels 1910-1925 They are lines with 2,3&4wt lines for small rods.

Some reels on display at the Colorado Cane Conclave on Aug 2,09 There are some nice ones in there ! I am trying to find homes for some of them !
