Well he was well known back in his time, mainley for the stanyer ducktail but he made rods for some preety famous people, I've been told. Had he had a shop here in Twin Falls. I met him in '79 when I moved here from South Dakota
The rod I just got was made especially for Leonard Miracle, I believe as the last name was spelt Miriacle, which might be the author of the Complete Book of Camping, written in 1963 the same time and in googling I found an article that Mr. Miracle had about floating the Bruneau and putting his fly rod together and fishing. Anyways, not sure if that's a connection or not, but it was interesting
I guess one of my questions was going to be how to decyfer the number he had put on this 8' 2 pc fiberglass rod (#280 197), not sure anyone would know but I thought I would ask. Thanks FG for responding.
