Me as a young angler

Me with my Uncle Mike him holding a Sturgeon taken from a local river somewhere deep in the northern Ontario bush near where we lived this was '57 or '58.

In the background you can see the pile of firewood typical of the sort that got local families through the winter.

Here is mine Andy, these are great rods and as you've proved it, they will last forever

Here is one you don't see very often. Orris Fiberglass root beer color Fly/Spin

Is there a model on that one? Is it green? I have not seen a green one. Fiber flex? Metal ferrels? Nice rod!

No model anywhere Andy. The color is similar to olive green and it is metal.
It did come in this tube but it doesn't tell us much

Take a look at the details on the plastic tube, rust and corrosion proof

I posted this photo before but since this a young angler thread I thought I would post it again. I am in the middle walking toward the camera. Those others are my brothers. Dominick

Wow! That looks like a neat time, hanging out with the bros

Its all good Sal. I grew up with Fenwick's as the standard. IF only had the ones that I broke along the way...Dom great picture! IF you squint you can see the tank on that rod!

Me in 1954, with a war mouth perch, from the ditches on Sumatra Rd near East Point Florida.

Great shot! Nice rod!

I've been enjoying all the pics on this thread, but if the latest from Mark doesn't make Photo of the month, I don't know what does....beautiful shot.
Unfortunately, I don't believe I have any pics. I did lots of fishing with my Dad from the time I could walk, but in my little town, no one own a camera at that time. $:-\$
Thanks for sharing guys.
