This summer never ends! Caught this 26 inch “wet boot” today from a partially frozen lake. The weather was foul and not typical of summertime in the mountains. The fun may soon be over until next year…
Kathy, that brookie came out of a lake above 3000 feet. Leif hiked in jeans because he had an issue with his junky camo pants falling apart, so that was all he had. If that one is inadequate, we got some larger ones this summer. I will have to dig out my camera and upload them. Here are some that I have on my phone; more to come later. All these were taken at hike to lakes well above 4000 feet.
This fish was just over 12 lbs, 26 inches long, and 23 inches in girth. It had nearly as much circumference as it did length. Leif did a great job playing it with his ultra light set up.
Here is a nice buck that Leif N. caught last evening. It easily shatters the state brook trout record. Nice job Leif ! ! !
My gramps also had some bamboo fly rods that I inherited. I do remember one was an Eagle brand with multiple tips. I had it dated to the 1940s and thought it should be worth some $. Turned out, as Pete said, it was only worth about $25 and it was in mint condition. I can’t remember the brand names on the others, but it was the same story with them as value is concerned. It appears that these things were mass produced during the 40s and 50s.
