On this trip, he had two fishing rods; one an old Shakespeare bait casting outfit loaded with leaded trolling line and a second, a 9&#8242; 0&#8243; Montague Bamboo Rod set up with an old floating level line. We trolled flatfish on each rod&#8230;yes, trolled with a bamboo fly rod. But, it didn&#8217;t seem to make a difference as we came home with a nice catch. Looks like a couple of pretty serious anglers! By the way, I still have these two rods. I don&#8217;t fish them any more, but they&#8217;re displayed in my living room. Lots of memories of my early fishing days!<\/p>\n<p>Here is an earlier photo from one of my father&#8217;s &#8220;Boys Fishing Trips&#8221; to Twin Lakes.
