I found the reel paradise
I want to show you some special photos I just made.
Was visiting a Castle were there was a hunting and fishing exhibition...
I have never seen so many nice reels before and I'm still shocked
I think this is close to paradise - enjoy the photos
View from the village up to the castle
Nice sculpture of fish
Inside the hall - the 2 protectors
Let's start to see the reels
Edward Vom Hofe reel 423 6-0 mounted on a H.L. Leonard rod
3 reels together with 3 rods
Display full of reels - and not just reels this is high end reel
Otto Zwarg and Edward Vom Hofe reels
A pile of Hardy Perfect reels
And now one of the most rare reels ever made - and this in an unused condition, still with the tag on it
The Hardy Cascapedia flyreel (only made 1932-1937)
Display with old photo of a salmonfisher together with 3 Hardy Perfect brass face
Old photo and old salmon flies
Outside again. The view over the church and the mountains...
I hope you enjoyed these photos of a very unique exhibition. I'm still dreaming of these reels
This is the best museum I have ever visit and I will go back again to see it one more time in the future

Amazing, Jacob! That must have been designed based on a dream you had! Wasn't that a Bogdan hiding behind that cascapedia? That surely must be someone's collection borrowed for display?

Re: I found the reel paradise
I like how the rods are attached to the wall with what looks like leather straps with brass rings. Are they custom made? Is there a company that sells them? I just use brads, sheet rock screws, tacks, whatever is in arms reach that I can drive into a wall! Nice post, Jacob!

Re: I found the reel paradise. Where?
The pictures are wonderful and the displays of those fine reels and rods are very well done. Where is this village and castle located? The next time I am in Europe I would want to visit.

Re: I found the reel paradise
I'm glad you liked the photos
Jon: thanks but my collection is far away from this, but I'm working on it and it is growing
John: Yes you are right, it is a Bogdan reel that is behind the Cascapedia reel.
The Whole collection belongs to a widow, her husband had this collection. The museum has been promised that it can keep this collection as long they want.
Scottorock: It is some kind of leather straps but they are secured, so that the rods not can be taken out.
I tried
Kingfisher: I'm asking me the same quiestion, where should I go next time, will be hard to beat this one, but I look forward to visit the IGFA in Ft. Lauderdale next year.
Ray: The museum is placed in the North of Italy, close to the border to Austria.
