Taco Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Anyone notice the little 6' rod Lee was using on the big brookie that kept short strikin' ? He's known to have caught and landed Atlantics with a 6' 6 wt and a sz 22 fly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thought I'ed share, this is the Lee Whuff rod series, a taper he had made, I was lucky enough to find it years ago. Often fish it on small waters and large. I love the action and it’s not only fun on small streams but great for light dry presentations on big browns. It is classed as a 5 wt but the window is 4 to 7. And as an added bonus found this commemerative reel. Don't fish it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taco Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Well that's Cooler n' Hell 2 for this thread1 Garcia/Conolon made the fiberglass version. Still a rare highly desired rod even today. Thanks Lorne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taco Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Thanks for that Taco. Makes me remember how much I loved watching/listening to Gowdy. Never got much Gowdy on CBC TV early on but when we finally got a second station, He was on Wide World of Sports Saturday afternoons.

reevesr1 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 He did Wide World of Sports, announced every sport under the sun. But I mostly remember him for "The American Sportsman." I found this on a google search, a bit of a tribute from BassPro (or all places). His talk around the 6 minute mark really reminds me of how my dad would explain fishing, if you ever pinned him down (and it's my dad's birthday today, so I'm so glad I looked this up-a bunch of great memories swirling around my head now). Anyway, here is the clip: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CFPage?storeId=10151&catalogId=10051&langId=-1&template=video.cfm&cat=Fishing&subCatID=26&connectionSpeed=hd&videoID=736&startRow=0&videoType=prodcutdemo&option=2&cmid=OLPHVIDEO_736_HD 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverDoctor Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I can't think about Lee Wulff without his wife Joan, a world-class fly caster and a marvelous person. I was lucky enough to meet her at a show in Montana a few years back. She still runs her fly casting school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishinglibin Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 My ambition is to die at 87 of heart attack when the grizzly is 2 1/2 ft away My ambition is to live to 99 and get shot by a jealous husband. Otherwise get a head butt from a lunker bull or brown and drift away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishpro Posted October 6, 2013 Share Posted October 6, 2013 What an awesome video! That. Was. Awesome. Has anyone ever fished the Minipi? I was there 6 years ago, tough fishing but landed 18 large trout for the week, all on dry flies! Average size was 6 lbs, one fish was an Arctic Char. There are also tons of pike along the shorelines. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
