H2O Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 A friend of mine who doesn't fly fish still has his late father's gear. I took a look through it and found these: My friend grew up in Calgary so I guess the sanjuan has been around for quite some time. I'm thinking this is from the 70's? Any you Calgarians remember Kling's Bugs? Too bad leaders weren't still 39 cents. But 0X was only 6lb test? There were also a couple of gigantic fly rods, I will assume that these are spey rods as this man did a lot of salmon fishing in B.C. as well.

snakeman Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 I've used those kling's bugs before, but I didn't know what they were called until now. Cutties seemed to like them, but they'd probably work anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
