Is Bob Gaston still alive? I always enjoyed talking to him.

Just wondering-would that apply to cars too? I catch myself doing it all the time.

Saw on another forum that Dave Whitlock passed away. A real asset to flyfishing and one of the nicest guys you will ever meet.

Yea, olive-drab wool socks

Getting back to the old flies that used to be hot at Bennett, I recall there was one called an Army Worm. It was a very simple tie using a strand of wool from an old army sock. It was tapered in the front and thick in the center.

Not sure what you mean by UT. We had a public sale and virtually everything sold. There were a few things that didn't sell and some stuff where a person would buy a box of stuff and then pull out what he wanted and leave the rest. We then arrange to have that hauled off. Incidentally, I was pleasantly surprised how well all my flytying stuff sold. Sold it all including all the cabinets and got a pretty good price on most all of it. Same for all the other fishing stuff. Hated to see it all go but I did keep 10 rods, a few reels, couple dozen fly boxes, waders, etc. Here was the shocker. I had a 2004 Ford Explorer that I bought in 2006 for $16800. It was in excellent condition and only had 46000 miles on it. It sold for $15100. So, it only cost me about a $100 a year to own it.

Skeeter, I sold my Dyna-King privately before the sale. I had an older EZ Rotary in the sale-but of course the sale is over.

Wanted to bring this back to the top as a reminder that the sale is this Saturday. Come if you can.

Thanks, Wrench. I'm saving some.

No I don't have any Aggitators (since I retired )

I have a fairly large lot of rod building supplies for sale. Pictures pretty much show it all. If questions, PM me. Some nice flyrod handles and reel seats and a lot of guide sets. $150 shipped

We are downsizing and will be selling a lifetime collection of fishing and flytying materials at a public auction on Oct 29. I've attached a link to the sale bill showing what will be sold. Over 100 rods and reels including around 30 flyrods ( Sage, Winston,Halo, Echo, Custom builds). There are also over 300 books on fishing, fly fishing and tying. Box after box of tying materials and several thousand flies and fly boxes. Bamboo, Glass, and Graphite flyrods. Also, a lot of woodworking tools. Come if you can.

As we are downsizing I will no longer have room for my tying stuff so am selling it off. I have here around 50 packages of hooks, around 25 to 100 hoks per package. Brands include Daiichi, Mustad, White river, Gamakatshu, and Umpqua. There is probably 1000 to 1200 hooks total. I'll send them to you for $90. Check or MO only. I don't have PayPal

Thought I would bring this back up to the top in case there was any new interest. It's a heck of a nice rod for the money. Could also include a Lamson Konic reel loaded with line and backing for an additional $75.
