Wayne;

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

There's *nothing* in flyfishing like the sweet purr of a Hardy. I have
an
LRH; a JLH; and my newest...a Bougle. The Bougle was purring on big
Missouri
River Bows...gotta love those reels. The Abels stayed in the van most of
that trip.


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.
