I started buying Mitchell fishing reels In the early 1950s . Some of my first purchases were the Mitchell 300 .

I started collecting the Mitchell 300 along with several other models which were the old models made in France. The French made reels are made to last and work better than the newer models.

I like to fish for trout using the different models I have and also Salmon with the larger models of Mitchell Reels made.

I highly recommend trying the Mitchell Spinning reels for your next fishing trip. You can buy the old French made Mitchell reels on ebay at some very reasonable prices. GOOD FISHING DEL

I live in Salem , Oregon where it likes to rain a lot. However, the last two days I woke up to beautiful sunny skies. So, I decided to go fishing.

I decided to go to Lytle Lake located on the Oregon coast near Rockaway Beach . I like to fish for large, sea run, cut throat trout. They run from around 18" to 22" long. They are very smart and hard to catch.

I have a bucket full of special gear that I take with me to use just for these fish. I have an ultra light fishing pole with a 50 year old French made Mitchell fishing reel, with 4 pound test line on it. I grab my folding chair and my fishing net. I am now just about ready to leave but I realize one of the most important items I will need is my Polarized sunglasses.

I like these sunglasses because it is easy to see the fish in the water when you get them close to the dock. I bought these wholesale from an online company that sells sunglasses which compare to Kenneth Cole’s sunglasses. They are good quality and have American made lenses. They were only $36.00 per dozen so I gave some away to my fishing friends.

Well I am ready to go now. I will tell you in one of my next articles about how I rig my line and the best kind of bait for catching these excellent eating fish.
