"Just thought you'd like to see this female Brownie that I landed with a fly I tied on one of your egg pattern hooks! Your hooks have held up really well and the proof is in the pudding with this beauty!"

Thanks to Issom for sharing this AWESOME Great Lakes carp that he caught on his new Alpha II and XA! |

"Aaron Caught this fish using the Allen Alpha 2 reel. This fish took at the tailout and turned downstream. The reel handled the fish flawlessly and we landed this early native (steelhead) 100 yards downstream of where it was hooked."

'"Is that a fish on the end of my line? No....wait maybe?!?" It hits me when line starts cranking out of my Allen Trout 5/7 reel, there is a fish! After wrangling with it for a few minutes it came in. My Allen reel preformed beautifully. Slightly overwhelmed with the whole experience of catching my first steel head my boyfriend held the fish for the photo op, he also tied the fly that caught it!' - Anne

" I was stoked to catch my first tiger muskie(s) using the Allen Alpha 2 and loved the smooth retrieve bringing the jungle cats to hand. Also take a peek at the full report at http://outsmartingfish.com/2011/11/tiger-muskie-fishing-utah/. The first fish lurked inches behind my fly as it snagged on a rock a rod's length from the bank. I worked the fly free and after a split-second the fish pounced on the fly. What a memorable take for my first muskie! Thanks guys and keep up the good work!"

"nice North Platte River Rainbow, I caught last October. It was the first trout caught on my Alpha 5/6 and Allen WF5 fly line. Needless to say, I was pleased." -Matt

"I caught this Dolly Varden using the Allen 5/7 Trout Reel on the Upper Kenai River in Alaska. The reel performed excellent for me!
Thanks,

How's this for a first customer-submitted photo of an Xa rod catch? Rusty sent us this picture of this solid brown trout brought in by his 10' 4wt Xa! Lovin it!

Nate did a fantastic job tying these fishy little chironimids on AFF2457 hooks!

"Not a beast, but my guy on the casting deck landed this solid Tailwater fish on a hopper after I swam down around 10-12 feet to retrieve the rod after 2 hours of searching!" - Braton
We loved the story of retrieving the rod and reel from the bottom of the river! Thanks Braton!

"I caught this male Colorado river cutthroat in the San Jan mountains near Telluride. He took an ant about 30 feet out from a creek inlet. I hope you guys like the picture. I love your reels." - Davin.

"This is a 38Inch 21Inch diameter Rainbow that was caught out of Gunnison Colorado. Your reel is the only reason I landed this fish! Your Trout 5-7 reel was amazing!!!! Sorry I didn't get a pic of the reel with the fish but your the only one i'm giving credit to for the reel. Thanks for making a product that can beat a state record! The fish weightd 20.9lbs. If the land owner would give me the taped pics, it would be a new state record, but he's not and so it won't but it's an amazing fish. Again thanks for making a reel that won't break down when a record is on the line. ".

Willi Says: "Here's a bow I caught on a pattern I tied on one of your AFF2488 hooks in a size 16. This lake produced a number of fine trout this Spring but this one was the biggest."

"While the brown trout was no trophy size fish, it was a spectacular experience. I just moved back to New York state from Oregon where I fell in love with two handed fly fishing. I caught this brown trout on a dry fly with my switch rod on the Genesee River in Scio, NY. While I can't stop thinking of swinging flies in Oregon, I can start adapting this small 4wt switch rod paired up with an Allen Trout 5/7 reel to the smaller fish and smaller waters of Western New York"

This Washington State char was brought to hand with the aid of an Alpha 9/10

Austin, with a big brown he caught on my son Liam's personalized Alpha 5/6. The stream (Dry Run Creek) was pretty small so we were leapfrogging and taking turns in each pool. I had 4 rods rigged but Liam and Austin kept reaching for the Alpha 5/6 since it was working so well...it was like our good luck charm.
