UPDATE: The box was won by Colin from Naples, FL. Sorry all, the contest is closed.
Thanks to Cliff Outdoors for giving me this box to fill with bonefish goodness.
There they are.
So. How do you win these flies and the Cliff box?
Simple. You need to answer the following questions in a comment below, on this page. Please number each of your replies so we know which question you are answering.
- Where are Cliff boxes made?
- If you have FB, go ahead and like Cliff Outdoors and tell me what it is they are trying NOT to do (from their About page)
- Name three sponsors of the Bonefish & Tarpon Trust.
- Name two lodges participating in BTT’s Angler Participation program.
- Tell me your favorite fly rod and reel for bonefish.
- What is your favorite bonefish fly?
Bonus Question (I’ll send a few flies to the first person to answer this correctly… and that is Jenn, who got it… the bar in the Belize City Airport):
- Where is the picture on the “Our Team” page on the Cliff Website taken (Hint, I was there in 2010 and 2012)?
Bam. That’s it. The contest will go live as of now and it will conclude probably in a week’s time at which point I’ll declare a winner and send this damn fine box off to a new home.
