Important: Anyone who's married needs to include the following message to your wife in your will:
PLEASE DO NOT SELL MY FISHING TACKLE FOR WHAT I TOLD YOU I PAID FOR IT! |

My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it. ~Koos Brandt I use it as a tag line on another board |

My will names an old friend, familiar with bamboo rods, to advise the family on the value of my fishing tackle and how to proceed in disposing of it. I made
sure that in my case the old joke won't become a reality.
Quashnet's Paul H. Young Rod Database has photos and descriptions of 485 PHY Co. rods, plus catalogs, accessories,
etc. Thank you to all who continue to send me PHY rod photos and info.

There is a sealed envelope in the top drawer of my desk with a list that I update a couple of times a year. Cindy knows that if something happens to me she
can open the envelope. She also fishes cane and fortunately somewhat knows the difference between a Southbend or a Horrocks-Ibottson and a Brackett era
Winston or a nice Leonard.

When I die, I hope that my meger collection of fly rods is useless. I plan on fishing my rods to death. I intend to use my rods so hard that when I'm
finished, they are just a pile of splintered waste. Some one can use them as fuel for the wood stove for all I care.

I'm taking at least 1 rod and reel with me. You never know what's on the other side. There may not be any fly shops.

Rumor is there are two venues. One has phenomenal fly shops and every stream is blue ribbon quality with continuous hatches. The other features poached dace from steaming, silted rivers. Fly rods and reels are not allowed. There is no catch and release. richard |

I think in the first venue taking a rod with hide glue would be OK but in the second venue you had better take one made with resourcinol glue.

I'm taking my trusty impregnated Battenkill and beat-up old 5/6 reel. They've ALREADY been through hell, so I know they can take it.

No need to educate the wife, even after I am gone. Things, are better left alone. Like phone calls from old girlfriends, the Superbowl pool win , talking
politics, picking a scabbed over poison ivy, and what I paid for my fly rods.

They are not in the will, it's a dowry.
