I am also sorry for your loss. I miss my grandfather(s).
About 8 years ago, I was fishing at Currant Creek reservoir. We pulled off during a storm and started packing up to go home. Lying there on the ground in the parking lot was what looked like an old beat up flyrod. In the rain and wind, I hastily picked up up and threw it in the truck. I got home and after drying it off, found it was rather undamaged. Even had a reel on it and was clearly well used. I tried numerous attempts at finding the owner (posted in lost and found in the paper, and I think even on this site) and no takers...so I took up fly fishing. I still have that rod and use it to this day. It's a Snow rod. I don't fly fish much, but when I do, that is the rod I use...and to this day it's the only fly rod I've ever had! I have replaced the reel, but I still have that old reel also.
After I couldn't find the owner, I did some research on it to figure out that these were made by Gean Snow from Anglers Inn. I never met him, but others that I've showed the rod to really talked highly of him.

I used to N.ot have E.nough T.ime O.ff to go fishing. Then I retired. Now I have less time than I had before. Sheesh.
