New guy from Colorado

I have to admit I'm not a collector of fly rods, but I am a collector of fly reels. I have near 150 old vintage reels. Mainly Meisselbach and Pflueger Progress.

Welcome aboard! I'm in Seattle but my son lived in Arvada for seven years. Loved to fish in Colorado, my favorite was the South Platte in the Eleven mile canyon! I also collect/fish vintage reels, mostly blue collar but have a dozen plus Hardys....and around 250 others......fun! I have 70+ bamboo rods with a ton of projects. Always looking....

Welcome from another fisherman with a similar affliction. Can't say I have 150 reels, but my count is north of 100 and I should spend more time using them than admiring them.

Welcome, Please make yourself at home. I come from a long line of trout fisher's out of Denver. That's where it all began for me. As for reel's, I can't help myself either! Ken

I have been off the site for about six years, but still collecting. Does anyone know if Phil White has put out a new price guide on Meisselbach reels?

Cheers from Montrose as well. I was looking at outfitting an 11'6" 4 wt sage one and had been between a hardy zenith and marquis salmon 1. Would you happen to have any of those? Cant wait to swing the Gunnison this spring. Thanks
