Title: what do you collect?
Post by: lucky on December 05, 2006, 06:37:19 PM: Just wondering what fishing related items other members on the forum might collect? Some guys on the site collect floats, some centrepins, some guys like hardys, one day in the near future Im hoping to turn a room in our house into a "fishing room" and Ive been gathering a few things to put in the room. Currently Im working on three different collections, first is a good library of fishing and outdoor related literature"always something good to read on those days away from the flow", second thing Im working on is old shakespeare level wind reels. Ive always been fascinated with the evolution of this design, and admired the quality of workmanship on the older reels. And the last thing Im collecting at the moment are hand carved fish decoys, I just think they look neat. Once Ive finished with a few of the above collections Id like to maybe start a collection of weird fishing items.

Post by: EZ_Rolling on December 06, 2006, 04:11:38 PM: these days I am collecting dust as my fishing partner moved and I don't like to explore rivers by myself...my 5 month old son would not be pleased if daddy didn't come home from fishing...

that being said I am looking for a new fishing partner in the Vancouver area.
