#6Come on, guys! We certainly have a bunch of comedians in here this morning!
Headwaters, you are correct. It is the Babe, and he is getting ready to "call his shot" as to where he will put that fly.
Honestly, Tonkin67, I do think he is indeed hung up in a tree!

#8Babe Ruth Fly Fishing At Jacksonburg Creek. (Blairstown, New Jersey Pt.2 - c.1930’s).
Legend has it, Babe did like to partake of liquor.

Malcom,you are correct, there is a very strong resemblance there. That location and time frame was cited along with the photo. I have no idea as to it's accuracy.

#20Looking at the photo, I find myself trying to imagine what these two men must have been thinking at the time. Having been in both situations, I know what I was thinking each time...
Yes, the AMFF once had a photo of Babe's rod on its Website, too. The Site has since been updated (with a fair number of great tackle photos).
