Photo of the Day- "Fish Eye"

Captured this beautiful photo on the Colorado River. The rainbows were beautiful this fall.

Winter Camping and Floating- You a fan?

Nothing is more rewarding than a fall, winter or spring camping and float

trip. The rivers have no people, fishing is tougher, but the whole trip is rewarding

once you have finished and enjoyed. Setting up camp and cooking are not so much fun, but

the scenery and snow are part of the adventure.

Try it sometime.

Winter Float / Camping Trip, Anyone !!

John Bett's Original Design Reel

John Betts "Sea Lion" Design
Wanted to share this rare, three of a kind reel that has been in my collectables since 2006. I was lucky
enough to purchase this exquisite reel at a TU Charity auction.

There were only three of these reels ever made, one kept by John, one previously sold and ME. Each item on the reel has been hand made by Mr. Bett's, down to each precise screw. The "Sea Lion" reel was inspired from a trip to the Oregon coast. The wood, Tiger Striped Myrtle Wood was found and eventually used in the design of the reel.  As you see the wood accurately depicts the sun dried
fur of the sea lion.

This is truly a one of kind reel. Please enjoy the view.
