    I’m doing my part to keep the Powell company history alive and well...

    There are few things in life more pleasing than the sublime marriage of form and function that is found in a well crafted fly rod.

    I had an old EC Powell bamboo fly rod that I bought in a garage sale. Sold it to a collector back East

    Yes, I have a bunch of them. It would be good to mention Angler Magazine.

Also for the Fly Hutch in Sac ( Mike Monroe) and Los Gatos. Here's one to think about. What was the name of the fly shop before Bob Marriott's bought it. I tied many dozens and dozens of flies for Hat Creek Angler's ( Bob Quigley), Spring Creek Anglers in Burney ( Bob Brink ). The list goes on and on.... I can tell you the hardware stores that sell or use to sell fly fishing equipment. One rod company you forgot about.... J. Kennedy Fisher, who use to roll blanks for a lot of major rod companies in the industry, but they won't admit to it. I saw the mandrels at the factory in Moundhouse, Nv. Right next door to a brothel.
    I'll bet a lot of people have no idea there is one of the major or use to be one of the major supplier for fly tying materials right here in Fresno, 5 miles from my house... Do you know the name? I do, just checking to see if anyone else out there knows.
    Bill you need to write a book.
    Jay

    PS.. do any of you remember stopping at the Orleans Market on the way to fishing the Klamath River around the Johnson's area, especially a riffle named the Metah Riffle. Well if you bought any steel head flies from the store, most likely they were tied by me.

    PSSS... you ask? How many dozen flies have you tied in your career...In my early days (when I had good eyes) I usually tied any where from 2,400 to 2,800 dozen flies a year
    Jay, you can help me....we also will make a list of true commercial CA fly tiers.

    What? I can't believe no one has come up with the answer to my question... Before Bob Marriott bought the shop, what was the shop name. Maybe I should give a prize to the person with the right answer

    I recall that the shop was called Hackle and Tackle or Dale's Hackle and Tackle. My memory is fading!
