I couldn’t make  FIBFest, it is true… but I sent some flies to Pete over  at Fishing Jones so at least my flies could make it there and hopefully end up in the jaw of an Androsian bonefish or two.

Success!

At least I know my flies would have worked...

That’s one of my ties in that South Andros bonefish, caught by Pete today as he fished with Michael Gracie out of Andros South.

Some fishing bloggers you probably read are headed for Andros South next week.  I would have been among them were it not for moving/childcare hurdles that could not be overcome.  I’m glad that at least some of my flies will be there.  I sent Pete from Fishing Jones about 8 patterns to try out down there.  Hope they work.

I hope to make it down there some day soon-ish.   This recent trip report from Rick Grassett about a hosted trip to Andros South makes it sound like a place I want to be… badly… very, very, very badly.

Andros South... yup... I want to be there.

Some bits and pieces from around the web.

• A REALLY good interview with Dr. Aaron Adams on the Fishing Jones blog.
• An interview with… wait for it… wait for it… ME on the A Bad Backcast blog.
• Skinny Water Culture 2nd Annual Tarpon Season Kick-off (or, yet another reason I wish I lived in FL), via This is Fly Daily.

Today, via Twitter, Fishing Jones spotted a story on Flies and Fins about a little bonefish action.

I stopped breathing as, “Tap” was felt. I drew the line tight for a millisecond, afterwards line ripping began through my hands. The world came back to me as I realized that I was connected to a bonefish.

Flies and Fins goodness

Check out the story.  Good stuff.
