Stunning browns bud. Wish I had the time

some nice scenery for sure Blaque, you got skills with the camera. I love the trickling water shots

Thanks guys, really informative post about the sport itself. Well I don't doubt about the eggs beeing expensive, your bying the brred i guess like you would in cattle. I didn't realize they only lasted for a day. I'd always thought they take days to get home from long races. Nice to know there are still active racing clubs carrying the sport onwards. Back home my brother used to raise pigeons and let them out the coup whenever a lone pigeon was flying, the object was to capture it, as it joins the flock, he occationally looses a few, in fact he did loose lots.

A poor ladie's pet bird got out and was perched on a tree, the super was trying to catch it for her, for over an hour. The bird decides to fly off just a few meters in flight , a bird of prey swooped down and took her away.True story.

That's a good one. There's a reality show for almost anything these days

Is it the same coup for all of the birds on the race? I asked bec. they usually go back to their own coup. so if you have multiple owners would that be a problem?

I bet he was

An older gentleman that came to the shop about 8 yrs ago and told us about it. I blows my mind how far they used to do it. He said they had the start at Thunder Bay and finish is somewhere in southern ontario. It is a dying sport apparently. Conicedently a pigeon landed on our backdoor a few months after speaking with him and it appeared to be in a race with the tags on it legs. I knew a cat make it's way from Muskoka to Brampton. He went missing in Brampton and then reappear in Muskoka 2 months after.

You got the right people to hook you up and get addicted to steelheading and gear I'm jealous with the amount of time you guys get to fish Well done on the fishing and rod build bud

Just like what everyone else said Beauty lakers and the last one's a beast.

Thanks Floatman55, I trid to be as original as I could The matte silver ChrisK is supposed to be clear but due to the hard coat it takes that hue

I went with something a little subtle. He's actually me second boy, and his name is Eliot. First one is Ethan. Thanks for the kind words bud

Hi doc haven't seen you around here for a while and thanks for props

You are so kind my friend. I wanted to offer something a fresh approach.

Glad you like them bud. My original plan for the 3 spokes were to have just one handle and 2 counter weights

First off I'll give thanks to where it's due, Mike Borger for getting me into float fishing and for all the inspiring reports over the years, and for helping in the feedback and testing, I am greatful my friend. Spiel for letting me fit them on his array of reel seats and for some suggestions To the local reel makers, Esp. Ron Gardiner and to Al Taylor, for their inspiring work and support Thanks for the kind words as well, guys. I did try to incorporate people's wants and needs, hopefully I addressed most of it
