I checked out Queenston launch last night around 8:30. I must be outta my mind. There were more than 50 vehicles down there. Just drove thru and didn't stop. More cars were coming in as I left..............Daniel

I have been checking some spots but nada where I've looked...........................Daniel

I can relate to that Bill. I used the old level winds for many years then got a Bronson closed face that would cast a mile and often into the trees. lol I finally bought myself a Garcia Mitchell 300 at Cdn. Tire in 1067. Still my favorite reels. I have several.........................Daniel

Some of those steel rods (the round ones)were made from fencing swords and the square ones were made from military tank antennas.......................................Daniel

Cool. I have the Shakespeare 1920 model FK. Was my Dads reel...........................Daniel

Here are pics of the hooks I was talking about. The biggest one of the bunch is less than a half an inch long. They have no eye just a flattened end on the shank..........................Daniel

I got a bag of them in the freezer......about a dozen............enough for a sniff.😁

I stay far away Bill LOL

The annual Queenston zoo.
