TWO of our staff members got married I (not to each other), we celebrated another successful festival weekend at the Museum, we welcomed a new exec- utive director (see page 29), and the journal staff prepared this Summer 1997 issue for you to enjoy during those few hours that you're not on the water. Last December, Paul Morosky paid us a visit, bringing with him a photo al- bum that belonged to his great-grand- father, Archibald Mitchell, a salmon fisher and creator of the Mitchell Museum grounds showcased the work of boatmaker Gregory Sowers during salmon fly. Mr. Morosky has been suc- festival weekend. cessfully researching the details of his relative's life. In "The Ristigouche At- lantic Salmon Fishing of Archibald Mitchell," we share with you not only some basic biographical information about this angler, but some of the im- ages from that historic album of pho- tographs as well. Notes & Comment features "The Earliest Fishing Reel: A New Perspec- tive." Frederick Buller discusses the ear- liest known artistic representation of a fishing reel, housed in the J. Paul Getty Museum, which suggests that anglers were using reels at least 1,500 years ago. In a salute to American summer- time, the American Revolution, and American fishing, we present "General Lafayette's Visit to the Schuylkill Fish- ing Company of the State in Schuylkill," an excerpt from An Authentic Historical Memoir of the Schuylkill Fishing Compa- ny of the State in Schuylkill, written by William Milnor in 1830. This official transcript of the first angling club founded in the New World relates the tale of the visit of, and bestowal of hon- orary membership upon, this leader of two revolutions. Curator Jon Mathew- son provides some introductory back- ground to this piece. We always enjoy our festival week- end here at the Museum.

  • Pezon Et Michel - the Story
    Pezon et Michel - The Story P et M was founded in Amboise, near Paris, after the end of 1st World War, as a continuation of a production-and-sale activity started in 1895 by messers Pezon, Serpette, Bourrellier and L’Heritier (the earlier company had an own production of pike and carp rods, as well as rods for “au toc” fishing, and distributed fly rods as Milward, from England). First bamboo refendu fly rods were manufactured for P+M by two craftsmen, whose small enterprises were acquired between 1924 and 1930 and moved to Amboise, H. Garreau from Dijon and F. Robillard of Macon. Rods manufactured in these years were clearly “inspired” by traditional English rod types, which use at that time was widespread. Following items were available: Darling 9’, two pieces Midship 9’ – 9’6” – 10’ – 11’, three pieces Teddy 9'-9'6''-10'-11', three pieces Willy 11', three pieces Week-end 9', three pieces. During this period, rods are completely hand-made in non-tempered bamboo, and it’s easy to find even visible differences in rods of same type. First refendu rods manufactured autonomously by P+M were Luxor spinning rods: built in non-tempered bamboo as well, proved to be too smooth and slow in their action, still far from standards desired for “modern” fishing rods… Between 1935 and 1937, an electric oven begins to operate: this allowed a sharp control of temperature used in bamboo temper process. It’s the first step toward the creation of a structure that, in future years, will produce fly rods unique for their manufacturing knowledge and accuracy in raw materials choice; afterwards to this capital technological innovation, begins the production of new “Luxor Luxe” spinning rods and of first items of “Parabolic” series fly rods.

  • Beginner's Guide to Fishing
    Beginner’s Guide to Fishing www.dnr.sc.gov/aquaticed It is my hope that this guide will make your journey into the world of recreational angling (fishin’) uncomplicated, enjoyable and successful. As you begin this journey, I encourage you to keep in mind the words of the 15th century nun Dame Juliana Berner, “Piscator non solum piscatur.” Being a 15th century nun, naturally Dame Juliana tended to write in Latin. This phrase roughly translates to “there is more to fishing than catching fish.” Dame Juliana knows what she’s talking about, as she’s believed to have penned the earliest known volume of sportfishing, the beginners guide of its day, “ A Tretyse of Fysshyne with an Angle.” As you begin to apply the ideas and concepts in our beginners guide, you will start to develop new skills; you will get to exercise your patience; and, most importantly, you will begin to share special experiences with your family and friends. In the early nineties, I can remember sitting in a canoe with my four-year-old daughter on the upper end of Lake Russell fishing for bream with cane poles and crickets. My daughter looked back at me from the front seat of the canoe and said, “Daddy, I sure do hate to kill these crickets, but we got to have bait.” Later, we spent hours together in the backyard perfecting her cast and talking about how to place the bait in just the right spot. We took those new skills to the pond. The first good cast, bait placed like a pro, and a “big bass” hit like a freight train.

  • Archery and Sport Fishing Quick Reference Guide Manufacturer
    Archery and Sport Fishing Quick Reference Guide Who is liable for the Federal Excise Tax (FET)? IRC 4161 imposes an excise tax on the sale of sport fishing equipment, bows, archery equipment and arrow shafts. This tax is imposed on the manufacturers (a term which includes producers and importers) of these products. In order to determine the proper taxpayer we must understand how the code defines these terms Manufacturer: Regulation Section 48.0-2(a)(4)(i) defines a “manufacturer” to include any person who produces a taxable article from scrap, salvage, or junk material, or from new or raw material, by processing, manipulating, or changing the form of an article or by combining or assembling two or more articles. The term also includes a “producer” and an “importer’. Regulation Section 48.0-2(a)(4)(ii) states that under certain circumstances, as where a person manufactures or produces a taxable article for another person who furnishes materials under an agreement whereby the person who furnished the materials retains title thereto and to the finished article, the person for whom the taxable article is manufactured or produced, and not the person who actually manufactures or produces it, will be considered the manufacturer. Importer: Regulation Section 48.0-2(a)(4)(i) defines an “importer” as any person who brings a taxable article into the United States from a source outside the United States, or who withdraws a taxable article from a customs bonded warehouse for sale or use in the United States. If the nominal importer of the taxable article is not its beneficial owner (for example, the nominal importer is a customs broker engaged by the beneficial owner), the beneficial owner is the importer of the article and liable for tax on its sale or use of the article in the United States.
