dug out of the attic.....
Any one here old enough to have fished with these?
Man, I've had this stuff stashed in the attic of the garage for 18 years. I'm not even sure where all of it came from. The first two pics are of my Dad's tackle box. He gave me the box, probably 25 years ago. I never really went through it. I know I fished out of it with him when I was in my early mid teens. We spent time at Lake Powell, Hite Crossing and Bullfrog Basin. We fished in Yellow Stone Park, Madison river, Ruby, Beaver Head, Clark Canyon Res. and Henry's Lake. The Red Rock River and many small streams in Western Montana/Wyoming, and Idaho. Dad quite smoking before I was born 7/1955 but when we camped/fished he'd roll one after dinner every night and smoke while we sat near the camp fire before bed. There's a yellow Daredevle spoon with black spots that I caught 18"- 20" Yellowstone cutthroat trout with on the Yellow Stone River. You got to keep them back then, and they were delicious! We always had a can of spam on those trips too. If we didn't catch dinner, well, spam it was. There was always a big pan of fried potatoes and onions/w crookneck squash thrown at the right time, to go with either one.
@Caveman Jim ? You know anything of those salmon lures? I'm not sure If i got those from dad or not?
