TR: I love the sound of a Hardy in the Morning - a little wordy

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.

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

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)

What's it about you western folks that want "quiet" reels?

The Bougle, loaded with a DT 5wt, is currently the reel I use on that nice
little bamboo rod that was wrested from the clutches of The Ulcerous Dwarf
of Pahrump and raffled to yours truly at "Penns 2003: Return of the Son of
the Biblical Flood". (A great clave, BTW). I would need a nice reel with
the same (small) foot size as the reel seat on said rod does not accept all
reel foot sizes. If the replacement reel could sound less like an amplified
jake brake on an unlubricated 1962 Peterbilt, so much the better.

Whatchagot?
