The current release date for the book about Walter Dingley and the fly reel making
history including his twenty years with Hardy can be seen at http://dingley.weebly.com/
I am expecting this book to be a keeper as Pat Garner has done some great work in the past. Currently the book is to be released this December. I may have one or two reels in the book, I don't really know. They are great reels to fish with.
I will check it out Mike. Sounds like a good piece of history. I just picked up "trout magic" by Robert Traver. Great read so far. And definitely go Giants.
