There's actually been people who have posted here complaining about the
"noise" Hardy and other similar reels make. Poor misquided souls.
Love those Bougle's and JLH's. There's a new grass stick in my future and
I
think I'm going to put one of the Angel's on it.


Wayne, I've got a Bougle with less than 10 hours fishing on it and I don't
care for the style, design, functionality OR the clatter. If you're
interested in a possible sale/swap, drop me an email.

If you're still interested in a click and pawl reel, the discontinued
Redington CT's are excellent reels. You can usually pick them up for
about $50 on EBay. I bought my first for $100 and I thought it was a
steal at that price. They make an especially good reel for light
outfits, 4 weight and below. They're solid, well made reels and are
light in weight. (And the click isn't obnoxious, IMO)

I don't like noisy click and pawl reels.

Hear, hear. I don't know who decided fly reels *ought* to
make noise, but imo it's whacko. It wouldn't be so bad if
it was only when a fish peeled line, but it's also anytime
I strip line off the reel. I like peace and quiet when I'm
fishing.

I'm on the fence on this one.....I love hearing my CFO scream when I have a
good fish on, but it does ger a little annoying when stripping line.

I don't like Fortenberry, either. :-)


I suspect Fortenberry would be hard to fish with, probably ok on the forward
stroke but on the back cast I doubt there would be much in the way of flex.
After a while the arm would get kind of tired too as he's probably a little
too heavy to cast repeatedly but on the other hand he'd probably do a decent
job protecting tippets.

On the Missouri I was playing a hot Bow when two sports came by in a
drift-boat; and one said to the Guide "What a *loud* reel that guy has".
(I
was using the Bougle at the time). The Guide smiled; and said "He's
playing
a trout, that reel sounds fine to me".

I really wanted to reply to the guy...but had my hands full at the
moment.
Those new Angels look great to me...I see one in my future also

Dave:

What part of the Missouri were you fishing? I ask because I bought a week at
a cabin at a conservation auction near the Dearborn exit on I-15 that I have
to use between now and the end of June. I don't know a thing about the
area.

I like that guide ;)

My mother, who is 77, had a hip replacement in the spring
and is getting a knee makeover in the fall. You're in the
business so you probably know this, but there is a new
and much less invasive & debilitating knee replacement
procedure being done that spares most of the muscle and
has people up and about much quicker.


Thanks Greg, I know of the specific implants. I've lost a little weight and
trying for more. As good as the implants are getting, i figure keep the
natural stuff as long as possible.

We'll see how I do in Carolina this fall.

22nd-26th of June will do nicely. It's on the calendar. :)


Cool, it's early but are going to want to camp or would you want to split
the cost of a cabin if I can get one cheap enough. Even the "cheap" motels
in Grayling go for 60+ a night that time of year.

Either would work for me. Let's wait a bit and see who else is interested.
I know for sure that Bill Claspy wants to go. I can easily twist Joel's
arm.....if he has anything like a hole left in his schedule for the rest of
his life. Guarantee a trip to that lawyer's shack and we can probably tease
one of his colleagues up from down in N.C. (especially if we can convince
him that Michigan bugs are the ones that couldn't hang with the big kids in
WI......and the pasties are nice and fresh).

And, who knows, there may be a few others out there I haven't entirely
alienated.........hey, not EVERYBODY reads ROFF......yet. :)

It has nothing to do with "western" or "eastern." It's all about

Hmmm. Too late now but what might that be?
The wife had a new knee put in a week ago Tuesday and the doc said it
was basically the same as the other knee he did for her in '96. I had
hoped he might offer up some advanced hardware but only the surgical
procedures seemed to have changed - smaller incision, something he
called "bloodless surgery". Still had to cut away some muscle to fit
everything in - but she is recovering faster than the last time.

What other sort of knee replacement could have been done?

Ignorant question time.

How do you do that? I hate the reel noise. I've got the reels that
came with the KPOS package deal and I'd much rather have quiet time on
the water. Or at least hear only the stream and the wind and my own
singing.
