"Things fishermen know about trout aren't facts but articles of faith" -
John Gierach
Two weeks ago we posted a notice of a lost T&T flyrod and a lost Bogdan reel. This blog has a good record of finding lost equipment but this was a special case. The rod/reel were the property of a woman's late husband and it had a ton of sentimental value. I also thought that the chance of reuniting this classic equipment were slim. But good things do happen. This morning I got an email from the owner that the rod/reel were returned and that she is very grateful to the local fly fishing community for spreading the word which resulted in this happy ending!
The Swift is coming and may soon hit that 60 cfs mark (some say that's too low but it's perfect for me) but good brookie fishing down in Cady Lane is to be had. Good fishing is also to be had on the EB.

Always good to see a rod reunited to it's owner!
Nice to hear some uplifting news!
It was great to learn that the lost rod & reel were returned to the rightful owner. I know Charlie at Evening Sun Fly Shop in Pepperell was also extremely diligent in putting the word out to his clients. Great to know the flyfishing world in which we live is such a tight community.
I’m upset when I break off a fly, never mind that rod and reel combo. Very happy for the owner and hats off to the person who returned it.
