    It looks like Ebay has a closed-end stacker for sale-- search for the "Master hair stacker". About 12-13 bucks including shipping and tax.

    I have just moved to Istanbul and am also keen to find some fly fishing - on rivers or streams ideally, but a lake would be enough to keep me happy. I’ve a car so could go anywhere within about 4-5 hours of Istanbul. Or further afield, I’m happy to fly. If anyone has any suggestions for locations, or who wants to buddy up, do please drop me a line: tomsisum@gmail.com. Thanks!

    The net is an old model of the Greys GS Scoop Net with an 18 inch hoop. There is a magnetic link in the end of the handle which I clip to a plastic carabiner on the strap of my shoulder pack so the net is always to hand, the net lanyard is also clipped to the carabiner so. The reason I use the foam is to keep the net floating while I photograph or video fish. I can hold and fire the camera with one hand and the fish with the other without the net sinking from under the fish.

    I agree i bought it on this c review and the metal frame. But the bobbin hasn’t been used once for tying because it doesn’t hold tension. The drag is such a small window from completely loose to too tight.

    Nick,

    Beautiful video. Makes me happy for you and envious for me. My local New Jersey ponds are iced over so won't be going fishing again until March.

    Please provide more details on your net. What size/brand is it? What kind of mesh? How do you attached it to your vest and keep it ready to use? Looks like you've used cable ties to hold pipe insulating foam around most of the rim. I think this is to keep the net floating level while you unhook and photograph fish. Or maybe it keeps the net floating if it breaks loose and you need retrieve it, Or both. Or some other reason.

    Hi Martin,
    FYI, I found out the reel I was asking about is a Vision Tank Salmon Reel. I found it in an old Vision Catalog. It came in 3 sizes, but has since been discontinued. I really like the look of that reel and have been scouring the internet to find one. I would like the #3 for 7-9 wt lines.

    Regards,
    Hector

    Hector,

    I have quickly run through the videos, but have been unable to recognize the reel or even the brand.

    Maybe try contacting kanalgratisdotse on YouTube to see if they can help?

    I have enjoyed watching Antti Guttorm Salmon fishing in several Fly TV videos. I wanted to know what fly reel on the two-handed rod he was using in one of Norway videos. It was an enclosed sided with round center drag wheel and pewter in color. From watching him land some salmon I noticed the reel seemed to be an ant-reverse drag system. I could not make out any the markings on the video. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks and happy holidays.
