In Skagit County years ago a gentleman named Wells created a small thin spoon to use with a fly rod. Wells used light thin material for his spoons and because this the spoons had to be cut and shaped by hand. They could not be mass produced with machinery and were, still are, prized by many anglers. Another result of the light thin material is the action of the Wells spoon is far superior to other similar spoons on the market (DickNites).

I have on occasion used a Wells spoon with a fly rod and the combination is deadly.
