First fish with my D Fuller "Old Reliable"

[Dean Romig]

Looks like a bead-head leech.

Richard, that is about the prettiest picture I've ever seen of an Arctic Grayling!

Hope you don't mind that I copy it and save it to file.

Obviously two pictures of two different grayling... how big is the one shown with your rod?

-- I recognized the 1494 medalist- about as basic as a field grade M12 12 gauge pumpgun- "back in the day"- But didn't see the fly pattern closely enuf I guess- was sure it wasn't either: a "PMF" pattern, or one of my late friend Bill Hunter's great patterns--he was a master at salmon pattern flies and a real gentleman in the tackle and Bogdan reel market- miss him! Still love fine cane rods, even though I gave up fly fishing 12 years ago- like I admire Steinway pianos, even though I don't play!!
