Abel Reels – Click Click

December 22, 2015/in Spey, art of two hands, steelhead fishing/by Jon Ray

Purchased my first Click Pawl Spey Reel. Time to make some noise. Inspired by Sean, if you haven’t read his article about the Abel Click Pawl reels check it out.

Jon Ray of www.mangledfly.com sent us this cool shot of his Abel Spey reel and a Michigan brown trout that apparently agreed to hang out for a photograph if safely released first. #abelreels @mangledfly #craftedforchaos #browntrout #flyfishinggear #flyfishing #flyfish #michigan

Had the opportunity to fish with Ed McCoy the other day, and captured him releasing this wild steelhead. Ed is wearing one of the best rain coats on the market the Patagonia SST. Patagonia Fly Fish just posted this image on there Instagram account. Thanks Ed for being a good sport and letting me keep your hands cold a few moments longer.
