Dr. Paul Hermann Salmon Fly Reel - LHW 7'8" and dry-droppersFor sale here is a Dr. Paul Hermann Salmon fly reel. This one is left hand retrieve. Near mint condition with a couple of tiny marks on the rims. If you ever have a chance to own one of these reels, you are very lucky. Dr. Hermann only made a little over 200 of these salmon models, a little over 100 Baby Hermanns, ~20 Large Trout Models and much fewer of the remaining two models, the Dry Fly Salmon and the Sea Trout. This reel is serial number 138.
