Default Help ID Old Cane Rod - "The Mitchell"
Can anyone help by telling me something about a split cane rod I was given as a youngster about 30 years ago?

It is 9' and two piece. Stamped on the blued brass butt cap is "The Mitchell" & Dry Fly underneath with Made in England on the opposite side.

It looks to be a nicely made rod, whipped in a very fine wine red silk and 1/2" intermeadiates throughout.

Anyone any idea who the maker was? Anything at all?

Thanks,

Paul
