Found Rod and Reel at Dale Hollow

[beebo]

Was fishing Dale Hollow last night (Tuesday Night) and hooked in to a rod and reel. So if you lost one just let me know what kind of reel and rod you lost and this might be yours. This outfit could have been lost the same night from the way it looked it is in real good shape.

I think it is GREAT that someone who found equipment is taking the effort to find the original owner. I posted on smalljaw.com (audmet) on losing my rod and reel back in May around Little Goat. It was a 7' or 7.6' Avid St. Croix rod and I do not remember brand of bait casting reel ( I think Plueger) but it is olive in color with a left-hand crank. Again congratulations on your honesty!

I see no one has claimed the rod and reel yet. Looks like there have been a few rod and reels lost on Dale so just so the ones that have lost their rigs this might help for you know that this outfit was found just down from the State Dock. I will keep checking back time to time so if you know anyone that has lost a reel latley let them know and maybe this will be the one.

A guy called me today and indicated that he wasn't a fishin member but he lost a spinning combo close to the state line. He lost a custom Elden Brandt rod. The rod maker signed the rod. Rod was lost in 12 fet of water. If this is his, I have his contact info.

Seeing this thread and losing a flashlight in T-ville this weekend reminds me of the time last year when we were camping on Kincaid and I got up at dawn to go fishing. I was fishing out of a canoe about 50 yards from our campsite with my brand new rod and reel (my wife gave it to me for my birthday) when as I as paddling, I heard a "plomp" from right behind me. I looked all around the canoe while thinking the worse. Sure enough, rod and reel was gone.

I figured the water was about 15' deep, but there was a fallen tree right there. Then I came up with the idea that I would tie on a large treble hook with a sinker right above it and drag the area for my rod. After about 25 tried and 25 snags on the tree, I was about to give up when all of the sudden, I saw a glint in the water. Sure enough, there it was! The whole episode took about 30 minutes and not a single other person ever woke up to witness what was going on. I still can't believe it.

I lost a 4' B&R rod w/ a Shimano Curado D last year at Geiger island but I doubt it would be in good shape now.

Sorry fellows but this is not the reel and rod that anyone has described. I will still keep checking back just in case. As I mentioned before I fished this outfit out of the water just down from the idle zone at the state dock like you where headed toward Wisdom dock. Every who lost must have just lost it within a few nights because it still is in very good shape. I will say this just in case someone might be able to help find the owner it is a left handed reel. So if you got any friends out there that are left handed you might want to check with them.

I didn't lose mine but i'm right handed and fish with all left handed reels,I have only met one other angler who does this(Matt)
