Thanks for sharring. Been chasing salmon since 1967 and brought back a lot of memories of how things have changed over the years.Started with a Heathkit flasher compass

and a couple of cheap manual riviara riggers.

Now that's archive film footage. I was a teenager when most of the salmon commotion started, and this film sure brought back a lot of fond memories of times past, and of course friends long gone now. Thanks Matt.

Very cool. Saw a lot of familiar gear. Some early noodle rods equipped with Shakespeare 1810 closed faced spinning reels. Loved those reels and still have a couple in the garage. Saw some Mitchell 300's and 306's, too. 306's were my favorite heavy duty salmon reels in the river. Loved those sideburns, too!!! And the cars! We had a 64 Chevy just like the one the guy had who was getting the ticket. Priceless.
