A great story we had to share

   Here is a story we would like to share with everybody.  We got a call at the shop on Tuesday from Robby who was in our winter fly tying class.  It seems Robby and his father Rob Sr. were fishing the White Clay creek on Monday afternoon, when they arrived at the parking area on Good Hope road they saw Jim and Owen who are also from the fly tying class.  They spoke for a while before heading out to fish.  After having a good afternoon on the river Robby and his dad returned to the parking area to find that Jim and Owen had already left. Where Jim and Owens car had been parked they noticed a neoprene reel case on the ground.  They picked up the case to find a high end first generation Ross Evolution fly reel. Not having Jim or Owens contact information they decided to take the reel with them and call the shop the next day. Upon hearing the story we contacted Jim to ask if he was missing a reel. Turns out that Jim had been frantically searching for his favorite Ross reel for two days and couldn't have been happier when we told him we knew where it was. After making arrangements to pick it up the next day, and ironing out all the details we figured it was a done deal. Shortly there after Jim called back and said he wanted to do something nice for Robby to reward him for his honesty. The end result is that Jim got his reel back and Robby is the proud owner of a C&F Midge fly box.


   Its nice to know that we are all a part of a tight knit fly fishing community. It is also refreshing to see such a high level of honesty and integrity from such a well mannered young man. It is apparent that Robby has a good head on his shoulders and we at the shop are thankful to have him as part of our fly fishing community. From all of us here at A Marblehead Flyfisher we would like to say thank you!
