With another bonefishing season upon us I’m scrambling around the house, making sure I have everything ready for the upcoming trip. The fly tying station is a disaster, with hair, beads, hooks and flash everywhere. Tied up a couple dozen Greg’s Flats Flies, a dozen Bonefish Junk Light’s and now will turn my attention to all the variations I have of Charlie’s and Gotcha’s. Trying out a couple of new reels and rods for some manufacturers so anxious to see how those perform and taking the weight off my hips by field testing the Simms Sling Pack. I’m curious to see how I feel after a full day of walking with the weight moved off my waist to my shoulders and back. The first week of the trip I am staying at the Long Island Bonefishing Lodge with the DIY Bonefishing Sweepstakes winner and four other guests. Should be a wonderful time and I look forward once again to the great hospitality of the lodge’s owner, Pinky Knowles. Just to wet the appetite, attached is a video showcasing the Long Island Bonefishing Lodge and their Assisted DIY Bonefishing program.
