    Hello, I have a Milward's bamboo fly rod in the original aluminum cylinder and canvas carrying case, all zippers in tacked. It is a 9 foot rood with 3 tips and 2 handles, ( I am not a fisher so I do not know the proper names for these things ). It is pristine having never been used. I have a card with the name of the gentleman who inspected it and approved it. I have the serial number and it was constructed in 1952. Should whom ever responds to this would like pictures I would gladly forward them. As you may have guessed I am wondering about the value of this artifact. Thanking you in advance, Dave MacDougall.

So, what is the next step, why of course, it to start going through your tackle boxes and start throwing everything you can find. That is the big mistake, odds are you will get the same result as you've had the rest of the day..Nothing! So What Do You Use? Well, you could try a larger size bait. Instead of using the 4-6 inch worm you have been using, try a 8-10 inch worm. Why? Because it falls slower and stubborn bass prefer a slower falling bait. Of course, you must take into consideration a few other things as well; the water temperature, the natural prey in the lake such as baitfish and craws, the time of year and the structure. In clear water try a light colored lure, in early spring try smaller lures and as summer gets closer then try a larger lure. When shady or windy try spinnerbaits ...
