ScottK Posted May 18, 2014 Posted May 18, 2014 Lost my brand new fly rod yesterday at the falls, like a moron I didnt have it lashed down and i got rolled over. So, if anyone happens across a 9' 4 pc 5wt with dark blue wraps and an Okuma SLV reel with pea green Fly line on it I would be very happy to get it back...(just got this rod a few weeks ago, was my first outing with it). On another note, we stayed at Justins place for 2 days and floated twice, had a fantastic time! Justin and Amy are the perfect hosts. The weekend sure got expensive with the lost rod and a locked up wheel bearing on my kayak trailer but it was still worth every penny.
ScottK Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 I'm getting my rod back! A guy found it the other day and ended up googling the name on the logo (custom made rod from Michigan) and called the guy that built it. The builder sent me a pm through the fly tying forum to call this person that may have found my fly rod, so I did and sure enough it was mine. Great guy, he said he had cleaned it all up (already covered in moss) and is gonna ship it back to me. People like this renew my faith in humanity. Scott Ginnever 1
Ham Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Good for you and good for him. I'd probably get him a gift card to somewhere (Bass Pro, Cabela's, Chili's, Outback, etc) as a Thank You. Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
lee G. Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 That is really great!!!!! Best thing i have read today.
ScottK Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 Definitely will be sending hime something as a big Thank You. I was just going to send some money, but I like the idea of the gift card. Thanks guys, I'm ecstatic!
Justin Spencer Posted June 12, 2014 Posted June 12, 2014 Definitely will be sending hime something as a big Thank You. I was just going to send some money, but I like the idea of the gift card. Thanks guys, I'm ecstatic! Or a sunburst gift certificate!

ScottK Posted June 12, 2014 Author Posted June 12, 2014 That would be a good one too Justin, but his family owns a cabin up by River of Life so that's where he stays. He said he knew you guys, his name's Tyler. Not to worry, youll have to put up with me and my coworkers again this year.... (and anybody else I meet that wants a recommendation on where to camp)

ScottK Posted June 22, 2014 Author Posted June 22, 2014 Took Ham's advice and sent him a Bass Pro gift card and a small box of flies I tied, he seemed pleased with that. Got the rod in the mail yesterday, still can't believe I got it back...
