Hi Dennis, this material list for the 52 Buick was taken from Russel Thornberry's " Fishing Jasper National Park' book. The originator I believe was Gary Carlson who was a friend of Russels. Gary fished quite often out at Hasse Lake and came up with the 52 Buick back in 1974 or 1975. Michael could probably share a litttle more on this.
