Orvis CFO III Fly Reel - screwback 9'2" This hardcover first edition isFor sale here is an early 70's Orvis CFO III fly reel the screwback model with three holes in the reel foot. This reel has definitely seen much time on the stream. Mechanically it feels as solid as the day it left the factory. There's a slight dent on one part of the frame, but it doesn't affect the winding whatsoever. Nice fishing reel and a rarely seen early model.
