50's 3 3/8ths perfect. No line guide. One of my favorite for 8 foot rods. Got to hear her sing a bit on Sunday. Caney Fork in TN.

I like agates a lot but the simple ones are nice too......

Pvansch1,

It's a 5/6, just under 3 1/8".

Michael, I used to be a western guy (the Great Plains, actually.) Now I'm an eastern guy. That fish was caught yesterday in New Jersey.

Hello Teter,

I'm guessing from the wildness of that rainbow, and the rod and your shirt...that you must be a 'western guy' I also seem to recogize that fall foliage in the background...am I wrong? Cheers, Michael

Quashnet, That certainly is an elegant brookie to complement that elegant rod and reel. Sleek, classic lines on both the brookie and the rod. Dang! I love a well turned grip with double sliding bands!

Not sure if I would actually consider it a classic reel, but here is a Traun with some BWO's.

That reel and the fish do have a fine, familiar appearance, Michael. Here's my little Perfect attached to the Driggs rod, with a Quashnet River brook trout.

Thanks for sharing Michael--this is what it's all about to me. I can feel the crisp air and smell the leaves in them.

Nice pictures, guys.
Here's my trusty 2-screw LRH mounted on my 8-foot Glenn Brackett Winston 5-weight. This rainbow took a #24 cream midge on a 7x tippet last Wednesday while I was taking a furlough day from work. It was the only fly working and the next fish decided to keep it.

Heddon Imperial 125R with Granger 8642. I'm in love with this reel but looking to cheat on her with an agate one. This fish fell for a Shroeders hopper, which is just about my favorite fly, because it's so fun to tie that knot in the pheasant tail legs....

Same reel peeking from behind a Beaver Creek bow that fell during the Virginia Japanese beetle hatch. This time a...

Bull dog just gave me the idea for this thread in a remark he made recently about Dingley reels which are actually fished. I'd like to start this off with a couple of shots of some favorite reels that actually catch some fish for me...
