jksnijders Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 And I would love to catch a Coelacanth. That's a new one.. Rarely even heard that mentioned, let alone wanting to catch one. Deep sea fishers have netted what, a handful, in like the last 50 years that have been confirmed.. Interesting. Quote
Guest Sundancefisher Posted January 4, 2009 Posted January 4, 2009 wow...no one has mentioned yellow perch in Lake Sundance yet... Quote

Ayr Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Hey Guys/Gals; Let's say you had a month or so from mid-Feb. to mid-March to check an item(s) off your bucket list. Where would you love to go this time of year to fly fish? Any of you know of "bucket" locations that are in the prime "season" in the next month or so? Let's here your suggestions, Thks much, Ayr.

DaveJensen Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Ayr - the cicadas in NZ are amazing right now. After this unsettled bit of weather settles down it'll be back at it and carry through early April. Scroll through our blog (signature) to see some shots of the last little while. I missed a 13+ lb fish today. It was cycling, looked at the fly for 15 to 20 sec on a painfully slow drift - the kind it hangs at your fly and drifts with it - and then kept going. Pretty cool when a huge fish hangs inches from your fly in flat water for that long. I certainly wasn't expecting even that much attention in the location I was fishing - so close to the hwy. Quote
Ayr Posted February 4, 2011 Posted February 4, 2011 Dave, You're killin' me here.....we had January booked to join family there and had to cancel last minute due to unfinished busuness. The family members are returning next week, but the thought of experiencing just a little of what you decsribe here and on your blog is very attractive and NZ remains on the short list for sure. Thank you for the reply and thanks for your blog I have been enjoying it for quite some time now. Here's hoping you and Amelia will have more of those unforgettable NZ experiences in the near future. Regards, Ayr. Ayr - the cicadas in NZ are amazing right now. After this unsettled bit of weather settles down it'll be back at it and carry through early April.
