toolman Posted March 13, 2008 Author Share Posted March 13, 2008 We received an offer for the trip to be revised, without accomodations for the guests, but including accomodations for the host/guide. We had to consider this offer as there were no other bids forthcoming. You can contact ReelLife and discuss going half and half on the original offer. Whatever works for you guys is fine by me, but we are running out of time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sundancefisher Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 39. FLY FISHING AT SUNDANCE LAKE...with Host/Guide Sundancefisher More info. from Kevin... "While trout sizes are averaging 14 inches…I have had 100 fish days using a corkie and nymph…" -Starting bid: $250 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not sure if it would help...but to clarify... the day would be for two flyfishermen now that the ice fishing season is done. I can also include a trout limit of 2 trout each. I am allowed 4 trout per day under our lake rules. If someone wanted, we could bait up some rigs and fish the bottom for perch also from the boat. Happy bidding. Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a guy there i see with pontoon boats and fly rods out all the time. I am sure I see you bombing around the lake with your electric motor. If you are the same guy I would suggest slowing way...way down. I can catch a fair number slow trolling a leach and I mean slow slow trolling. If you want to go out fishing...out bid the toolman for a guaranteed outing...otherwise if you see a guy fumbling his casts...say hi and we can chat fishing! As for help I should be fine. I took a couple buddies from work out for 4 hours last year. They were real hacks lol :-). Two flycasters in a boat is not a problem. I ended up casting for them most times but in 4 hours they still managed to reel in about 25 each. They would of caught more but after a while I would casually say things like..."wow...gotta love when your corky goes down (my buddy says that a lot to me also)"..."hey guys, once in a while when fish bite, the corky misteriously disappears", and the famous "man you guys are slow...let's play a game called where is your corky". They got the hint after a while but my mind wanders bad when corky fishing. It was very entertaining. Cheers. Sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hydropsyche Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 I just receive DBT Deadly Dozen and I just wanted you all to know how impressed I am with his tying skills. Those are some superb flies and very original. I'll be giving them a workout this weekend. I feel it was $40 very well spent. Thanks again, Andrew.
