1 more test pic of 2 flies i really like...

I had those scale at one time. Wildly inaccurate. Great picture.

Jesus, being merciful, would lock this thread...............

just sayin'........

yes Dave, so inaccurate i threw the 3 i had when i was younger away... there is actually 3 pictures of that in sequence in the little holder/frame that we have... the other 2 are this, and the final one is the one i posted...





i used to have a few of those old Mitchell 300s and 308s just like that in the pic too... unfortunately, i was young when i had them, and didnt know about the whole keeping your gear clean thing... so using them in the canal for 10 years destroyed them... oh well, live and learn ...

why lock it? now i can share super old photos of my family and GFs family.... looking at old fishing photos is sometimes better than looking at new ones...

Makes me miss the old Herters store in Lacey.

Now it's a 7-11.

Great now everyone will be fishing that spot.
For Jesus sake please don't post pictures of rivers and certain spots that people will recognize.

LOL, its in Canada, and i highly doubt anyone can figure out what river it was on...

With those cool pics, this thread is barely in the negative.

I used those scales and might even be able to track one down. "Wildly inaccurate" is both true and funny.

In looking at the pic of him pulling the fish out of the water, is that a big, old "corky" of some sort?

its a "cork" bobber... i used to have one, but i lost it... some are like the size of golf balls, with a hole through them and a plastic pin that holds it in place on the line to adjust depth... they arent painted, and look exactly like the cork on your rod handle...

Redhood, nice comeback, seriously.

Though, a picture of Grampa fishing with a puppy would be nice.

They took paradise and put in a parking lot.

Joni Mitchell



Do I win?

You would have won if you had said they paved paradise, but you get a consolation prize anyway for correctly saying Joni.

Counting Crows had a better version.

Damn, those old Haight-Ashbury hippies perk up at certain key words.

I bet some asscot wearer tagged that.

heres one of my dad from the late 70s...

I caught my first-ever steelhead in '64 using one of those, floating a gob of roe on the Russian River. Used a Mitchell 306 that I still have. I don't have the slightest idea what happened to the rod.

these are some of my absolute favorite flies for Cutthroat...

this is another test, im trying to figure out everything on this scanner printer thing and am just using this thread to do so without making another one...

Great pics! Scanners are so much fun.
