k9delboy 138 Posted October 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 Looks quiet wide for a fly reel it,s a salmon fly reel approx 2" wide an approx 4" diameter. he thought he had hooked a salmon due to the way it was moving through the water. bonny prince charlie once stayed in crief so u never know eh?. i,ve looked on web an trawled ebay but never seen anything as old as this one. must,ave been in the water for a few years.
