perrydraft Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Hello, I am sad to say that I had a rod got knocked overboard into the Bow river abyss on Sunday 13th of July. This occurred on the left bank just across from Lammles, which is approx. 3km down from Policemans Flats. The rod wasn't great however the reel was of value...it was a Abu Garcia 6w and Lamson (I think) reel w/ green sink tip line. So if anyone dredgs one up please drop me a line.. Thanks Quote

Tungsten Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 It was knocked out of the Rod holder on the side of my boat..any assistance would be appreciated..thanks the reason i asked was if it was snaged on bottom and your brake wasnt set to loose it may just hang ther in the current or close to bottom ,and we could try to snag it . if it just fell out of the boat with no line out ,well it dosent look good ,its eather swerling around at carseland weir or in bassano res. by know .where was it lost?

j5ep00 Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 mike maybe it could have gotten hung up? if i rember right there are lots of bigger rocks on that stretch? a couple passes with a snorkle and mask may work... might also find where a few big browns are hiding. Quote

I'll try the snorkle some time, cuz there is a big eddie down stream that it might have gone into..I'll let you know what I find whether its Browns or a Rod..more will be revealled!..Thanks allot for the ideas Quote
