Saltheart 04-05-2002, 11:21 AM Well if it OK with Fishpart , it should be OK with everyone else! :) We'll close it April 9. Smokey 04-06-2002, 08:42 AM Ha Plum Island, I have done some flyfishin on the mud flats up there. The assortment of sand eel paterns in that set are killer. Plum Island 04-06-2002, 10:50 AM Thanks for the information Smokey :) Got anymore information on this area? I'm looking for any information on the water depths off the point. The sand bars...water level around them,etc.... JohnR 04-06-2002, 11:04 AM Plum - get a detailed nautical map of that shoreline - second best thing you can do as a shore angler. Best thing is to go to these places at dead low, preffereably full or new moon, and scout the areas out - leave your rod at home so you have to scout instead of fish. See where the drop-offs are and the rocks and the bars... Remember - you have 9 feet or so of tide there so a lot of water moves in and out. That's why you want to see the bottom on a moon low because you'll be able to work & visualize the structure at all higher tides... Plum Island 04-07-2002, 10:36 PM I'm sorry, but I have to remove my bid from this auction. I wish I didn't have to, but for reasons I would rather not say.. I just have to remove my bid :( Maybe next time :) PS: I want to try tying my first fly. I found a kit, and it includes everything, but can't I just buy some hooks,beads,string,line,etc..? Spare Spool 04-08-2002, 10:51 AM P.I., don't worry I was going to outbid you anyway. So, I'll offer $45. The flies look super sweet!! Fishpart 04-08-2002, 10:58 AM Plum, You sure can just buy what you need. I got started tying flies in a pair of vise grips in a wood calmp an dmoved up to a drill chuck. Other than that you can almost get by with no tools, but a couple of bobbins and a whip finisher are real helpful. Some if not all of our sponsors carry fly tying supplies AND offer us discounts as members.:D JohnR 04-08-2002, 12:25 PM SOtB :D - Those are almost carbon copies of what was on display at the show - pretty sweet stuff...
