Hey there fellas and gals, I'm getting a number of requests for a John Spahr style offset foot. This foot/bracket conversion could be an 'optional extra' to my line of reels. I'd like your input on the utility and practicality of this feature. Thank you for your input. Please see photo below.

A big thank you to Kodey Buchanan, founder and president of the Steel Dreams Fishing Club, for raising important funds for maintaining the fishery in the Saugeen River. The Steel Dreams Fishing Club's fall 2019 tournament raised $9000 for the Lake Huron Fishing Club, which runs the Kincardine Ontario salmon and trout hatchery and $1330 for the Saugeen First Nations Food Bank. This money was generated through the raffle table at this high end tournament, which had great succe...ss. Kodey Buchanan has mentioned to me that supporting the Lake Huron Fishing Club is the goal and reason behind this tournament. We are lucky to have people like him who volunteer their time to keep the fish in our river systems. It's good for the environment and good for the sport. Hats off to you Kodey! In the photo, Kodey Buchanan (in the red sweater) is presenting to the winner of the JMR donation.

Hello fellow anglers in the Fraser Valley, How about coming out this Sunday to the Chilliwack/Vedder Cleanup, September 22, 2019. Meet at the Chilliwack Fish and Game Club on Chilliwack Road. Registration opens at 8:30 am and closes at 9:30am, BBQ starts at 12:30pm. Prize raffle begins at 1pm (ish) and you must be present to win! All registered participants can enjoy the BBQ lunch. Additional refreshments are supplied. Don't forget your water bottle or a travel mug so you ca...n partake in the refreshments. Once again the society will provide the gloves, garbage and recycling bags and you provide the 'boots on the ground'. This event goes rain or shine.

I invite you to join me in supporting the Steelhead Society of B.C. with their good works of fisheries conservation and restoration, by making a bid on this half decent bit of kit (valued at $625). Contact Andrew or Brian at 604-931-5044 if interested.

Thank you for your past patronage of my reels. In anticipation of the extra work load for the holiday season, I request your opinion of what you might be inclined to choose when making a purchase. Please see the summary below of colour and porting options to provide feedback. If you are contemplating making a purchase and would like to take delivery by the holiday season, then I would like you to make the order before November 20th. This lead time is necessary due to colour... processing. However, I have some small stock of parts for my standard reels and colours and can deliver these in less time. Once again, even if you are not sure if you will be ordering a reel, please provide me feedback of your preferences. That way I will be prepared for the general market tastes. Select from the following colours: light bronze, root beer, black bronze, gold, silver, dark pewter (grey), dark burgundy, green, light blue, dark blue, orange, light pewter (silver-grey), and light burgundy (pink). Porting options are: standard, big hole or a custom design. Please let me know your preferences by contacting me by email at [email protected]. To order, contact me or one of your favorite Milner dealers. I look forward to hearing from you. Best regards, John

We would like to see you in action with your John Milner Reel! Please send us your favorite fishing photo and it will be considered for inclusion in a future Facebook post, featuring the reels in action. It would be best to send it to me through this Facebook page as a private message. Also, if you could include a short caption, that would be great. Best regards, John.
