We never had anything like that over here as far as I know. I only ever
used a plastic handline growing up.it wasn't back in '39 however :)
Quite a beautiful piece of equipment however. Deserves to be mounted on
a wall.

Reuven,
That is a good idea, I may just mount the new one I have in a shadow box and

I am into the old tools rather than the 'disposable' ones. My friend,
the butcher, had old knives, hand- operated salami cutters, saws and so

Whether or not the sport of fly fishing is in trouble I am not sure. Certainly
you do not see the younger people getting into it. Our local TU chapter is very
active and we do alot of things. However when you look at the core group , it

What a great shame Tony.
The flies you refer to come ouot of Africa and although rubbish, still
cost a good $2.50 here. I used to spend big for little return when
starting out, before venturing into fly tying and spending big on
materials. The old story..The Most Expensive Way to Save
We've had a lot of discussions around here about the state of flyfishing
and tying, and whether there is enough new blood and interest to sustain it.
Our local flyclub also has youth programs such as Next Cast and Kokanee

I still have two of those. One is still brand new, never used. I got that one
in a bunch of stuff that was given to me several years ago. That was also my
first fishing thing. I caught my first trout on it. You could cast it out then
hook the like on a bell that was on a length of spring
I think our ages reflect all the fly tying groups in general, however,
we are all for the most part active. A good number of our over 50's are
still working, all of us volunteer in our areas and we have extended
families to take care of.
