Your Dad,s likely about my age and that aerial wasn,t as hollow as some. It played those fish rather well and it was black braided line that was attached. When my father eventually bought me a baitcaster I had a heck of a time holding any fish of any size because I couldn,t reel strongly enough.

THat seven foot car aerial worked well and didn,t have to cast the line far as it was ten fet deep just three feet out from shore. Amazing the number and variety of fish I caught on it-walleys, northern pike, perch, crappies, carp. sunfish, bullheads, bass and even a channel cat or two

Re: The Man That Changed My Life Forever

My start in fishing was 1950 aged five.

FRIENDLY ADVICE PLEASE

A born Washingtonian I plan to fly back over at the end of April to visit my brother in Grand Coulee and will naturally want to wet a fly in Banks Lake. Does anyone know which flies I should tie which would be effective for most species in that Lake? THANK YOU :-"
