All, So if I told you there are hand made bench reels being made in FRANCE w/ "made in France" and are marked (I forget) either ABU MITCHELL OR GARCIA MITCHELL - do you think I'm crazy as a bedbug? I only got a cursory look at the box and open faced reel. I was interested in a date, Which I didn't find. The owner had a heavy accent which I could not identify and was only modestly friendly Phone

CHESTERS1, IS THIS SITE BEING KEPT UP TO DATE https://www.mitchellreelmuseum.com/ Phone

BoldBear, Wow!! the pond takes me back to life at a slower pace. Not so far from my home USED to be several well manicured rather formal estate ponds (by invitation only and somewhat "proper" attire). LONG gone now, progress is what I'm told. Your pond reminds me of them. There was just NO way to hurry and become frustrated. Usually involved lunch and a break (guess you would say tea) in the afternoon PHOTOS TURNED OUT GREAT. Chesters1, Rarely were carp of any size allowed to remain in these ponds. One, I remember had either fancy goldfish or perhaps they were koi (?) Pho

Gozzer, NICE WRITE-UP. there's not a heck of a lot to say when your mobility is limited. I haven't noticed any change in the AN performance. Phone

Tigger, I'm not buying for one second "you're not fishing so good". You know you're not fishing so good when you pass up a chance to go. I KNOW when you are on the water you're working your arce off. Hang in there Phone

All, Phone

BIG COD, CAN YOU EXPLAIN THE POST I REFERENCED PHONE

Martin, NO DOUBT - I have my bucket full of "pandemic". Further comment would just be opinion that everyone doesn't agree with Phone

Hugh, Ha ha, yes we have magpies, smart as a whip and I enjoy their presents. On my boyhood farm crows and magpies used to joust and generally aggravate one another. "Clod" must fit in somewhere Phone

HUGE, I won't go on an extended diatribe. The UK cannot compare to the colonies on this one. We've lost our fricking minds and every sense of logic we have. phone

all, well why isn't anyone doing it and reporting such phone

THIS ONE CAUGHT MY EYE BECAUSE THE HEADLINE AND THE COD LINE ARE OPPOSITES. pHONE
