January 2026 The Godfrey Perfection Reel discontinued.
The very special Godfrey Perfection Reel is no longer available. All parts were made in-house
as is our custom with the exception of the specialized, milled three-sector adjust cams. These were needed
for both Right and Left hand reel models. Obviously no luck finding new source(s). The Perfection was at best
a difficult reel to produce, but a lovely one!

July 2020 - Spey Flies
The early 1900th Century Spey flies had an exuberant design with the flair of hackle. These were
fished with huge rods for huge Atlantic salmon. Today not too surprising they are still of value and remain great flies even for
bass and trout. I like them!
