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

In my article about summer on the farm I mentioned about the old Page car that my uncle owned. To start the car you had to go out in front of the car take a crank and spin it around hard to try to start the car. However the first thing to do was to set the magneto to the proper position on the steering column before you went up front to turn the crank. when the car started then my uncle would run around to the maginot adjuster on the steering column and set it to the position that would keep the spark advanced to the proper position so the car would run smooth.

Now we were ready to go. the shifter was on the floor so he would put it in low gear , let out the clutch and away we would go. then shifting into second gear and on into third gear.

The windshield was made of glass but the two side door windows were made of icing glass. Was kind of like flexible plastic thin and kind of foggy to look thru. The car didn’t go very fast, but it did get us to where we wanted to go.

In 1943 during my school summer vacation I went to my uncles farm which was located about 30 miles outside the town of Sprague Washington. I was nine years old at the time and my mom and dad felt I should spend some time out in the Wild West I guess. We had no electricity but we did have well water, Out house and oil lamps.

I loved the farm and my aunt and uncle and all of the milk cows, along with the chickens and a pig . The farm was about twenty acres and the cows would go out and roam around on it. There was a lot of sage brush and I remember the meadowlarks singing ,chicken hawks flying overhead, and once and a while would dive down and get one of our chickens.

I helped my uncle harvest wheat in the summer on some very hot days. We didn’t have all of the modern equipment at that time like they have today. My uncle had an old Page car he had converted the back end into a pick-up bed and we hauled the milk and cream to town to sell. His old Page was one of the first cars in the Northwest. It wasn’t like the new Jaguar like my son has today. It was very hot and sunny there so I wore my sunglasses a lot of
The time and tried to get a nice tan
Going to go now and I will tell you more about my experiences on the farm in more of my comments. Bye for now DEL

On March 28th I wrote an article about going fishing for sea run cut throat trout. In the article I wrote that I would tell you how to rig your line and what kind of bait to use.

I use 4 pound test line and I put the line thru a slip sinker “ one with a hole in it” then I tie the line to a swivel that has a small safety pin on one end. This will stop the slip sinker from going down all of the way to the hook which will be at the end of the leader. Now I tie a 2 or 3 pound test leader about 20 to 22 inches long to the safety pin end and then I tie a small egg hook to the end of the leader and now you are read to bait your hook

The bait that you use is a secret way to catch large trout. I use Berkley Powerbait Red Power Eggs and a combination of Berkley Powerbait Rainbow trout bait. I put the egg thru the hook and thread it up the line then I roll the rainbow Powerbait into a small ball big enough to cover the egg hook good, and then I slide the egg back down the line until it is tight up against the hook. Now you are ready to catch a big fish .

My son has a new extended model Jaguar car. It is a beautiful car. He bought it for his wife Jeni and she loves it very much.

I have rode in it about three times and it is so quiet inside you could hear a pin drop. The interior is very comfortable, plush , with many features that i have never seen before in a car. when you put it in auto drive if you get too close to a car in front of you it will slow down automatically .

The Jaguar has a lot of power that makes you feel safe if you need it. I will write more about his Jaguar later so keep in touch . DEL
