Posts: 57 08/01/2008 16:54	Tags : None I thought some folks on this forum might enjoy this little tale of 2 reelnut makers.....Ebarrel and RM have been trying to get together to meet and share notes for about a year.....This board brought us together in cyberspace a good while ago (thanks Banjo)....Well,, we finally made it work and spent the better part of a day in my shop with endless reel talk and hundreds of questions about materials, techniques, collets, tooling and most of all our own histories and beginnings in a shared passion for flyreels........Jon knows more about the history and making of EVH type reels than anyone I have ever met....He is in the early years of making and I am coming to the end of mine....his work is superb and his reels speak for themselves.......the Boo makers seem to get together all the time but I have never heard of reelmakers doing same....maybe next year there might be a few others interested in a bit of shop talk....who knows?

Might be far to travel for some.. but I know plenty of people who would have thought that from the beginning of the Conclave itself. (it is primarily a fly tiers paradise.. but with lots of boo boys gathered..) Also, I have been to the Denver show twice in the last 10 years.. but that might be $$. good looking ideas along with good looking stuff always brings people together - Brian " Just once, I wish a trout would wink at me.

Not only does Reelmaker have 30+ years of experience making beautiful reels, but he has been fishing for Atlantic Salmon longer than I have been alive! I feel I am a better reel builder than a fisherman, so I know I could learn more from all of you there too. All my lodge contacts are in Maine, New Brunswick or Alaska. We have one vote for Denver, anyone else have some ideas where this could happen? Jon

Posts: 386 08/08/2008 10:23	I am not a reel maker just a reel lover and I host the Colorado Cane Conclave every April at Sylvan Dale Ranch. What are your thoughts about adding a reel makers get together to this bamboo gathering? Good fishing on the ranch this time of year too. Gary.
