The Baron by Will Bush

The Baron by Will BushA beautiful full dress Baron classic Atlantic Salmon fly, tied by British Columbia tier Will Bush. Tied on a 7 0 hook made by Byron Bjerke. Would make a great candidate to frame or put in a display. No case.

1 1/2" spool width

Another nice touch is "Oyster" lettered in silver ink on the wrap flat

presumably for ease of use

Full length smooth brass reel foot that has never been altered

Actual weight is 1

Near mint condition with just the tiniest hint of edge wear at a spot or two on the rim and some minor handling marks

This rod is based on a Paul Young Midge taper at 6'3"

this reel weighs 16 ounces and has a listed capacity of 350 yards of 20lb monofilament and backing

Stamped D3 on the frame and 3 on the foot

A truly unique product from the reel maker

There is a fair amount of rash on the rims and though it is found in a fair number of places none of it stands out or is spectacular in nature

"Fody 37 1/2 -5" is lettered 2 flats left and "1996" one flat left (I'm not sure what 37 1/2 refers to here other than the model number
