Forgot to add:
Herb was 83 when those pics were taken. He lives in Tasmania. He caught the biggest fish of the trip, btw, and it isn't shown. I think the guides taped Herb's reel onto the rod after that episode. d;o) Dave |

![]() Although a reel is very important to me, obviously it is not to other fishermen. ======================= You have gotten good advice on fly rods and line For me - my perference is that w a Sage rod - graphite or composite - is that I believe I can cast tighter and far more accurately than w lower priced rods esp fiber glass - but definitely ask to try any rods, line, and or reel combo that you may buy before purchasing them. The rod line combo is most important to me As to a reel It does makes a difference to me also esp w lerger fish I can play themn and rest a bit w a tight and reliable drag it can even save amistake But I do not spend megabucks on reels as I beat them up anyway in water and on rocks. Nice pictures - Dave Fred |
