Here's a picture of my first trout caught on a bamboo rod last week in the Platte river at the ORCA convention. The reel is a Pflueger Gem 2094 and the
rod was a Granger Aristocrat that Bill Land was good enough to let me borrow. Cheers Russ

Keep them pics rolling...beautiful all around. Catching fish is one thing, but hooking up and hearing these older reels sing is pure heaven to me. I can not
begin to explain how happy I am that my interest stemmed from pure fly fish to collecting and fishing these types of reels...!

This was an interesting experience, on a Payne 100 4-weight with a McVickar Bushkill reel (Harry McVickar briefly owned part of Payne in the ' 40s).

Not a fly reel ..but an interesting vintage reel none the less. In this case a Hardy Elarex from the dawn of the 1960's.

Oddsnrods,
That's a very cool outfit and a nice-looking fish. What's the rod? |

Thanks Teter. The rod is an early 7'6" baitcaster of mine, quite a sturdy rod and somewhat overkill for that bass ,which was returned. I posted a more
up-to-date baitcaster on the 'Made Any Rods Lately?' section of this forum a couple of days ago which may be of interest.
