I had a feeling that the bones would be around there. The water was just a bit deeper than I'm used to. Usually I sight fish flats for them. I'm a civilian pilot flying military contracts in and out...

Had some time to fish on this past trip. One day was all jacks. They're fun to catch and they pull hard. Got a stingray, also. About 3 feet across. Took about 20 minutes before I even knew what...
Just got a call to head out there tomorrow. Been there a few times, but haven't fished. They have peacock bass in the lakes. I know it's a stretch, but if anyone has any info please send a pm. ...
For hooks:

OK. I know who to ask. Everything I do in that size has been on a lighter wire hook (570 type). Standby...........Call you back..
Just got off the phone and that 630 hook won't fit my mold.
I just looked at my 1/32 mold. Shank length doesn't matter, it's the eye above the bend. I took a Dremel to it and have done #4-8 that I remember. I think I did 10's for a guy a long time ago, but...
I use the TFO Ticr x rods. Good price, nice action (for me). Warranty and service are excellent. Had a guide come loose on one. Had it back in 3 days. Never a problem since. I have them in 7,8,...
The little boogers are a blast on the fly. The clouser is a good choice because they like to be around cover, and it rides hook up. Less snags. I tie on light wire hooks that pull free from sticks...
Since there's lots of food pics, here's my project for the day. Pork was on sale. I cannot resist. These will hit the pan with peppers and onions. Did 20# of Italian today. Last week was 20# of...
I use the Griffin Oddesey. Most of my stuff is done on #10 through 2's. Works well. I have tied thousands of flies and crappie jigs on it. My son uses it to tie on sizes into the 20's with no...
My knowledge of FF in Hawaii is for bones on Oahu. Did a bit of peacock fishing on Lake Wilson there, also. Talk to these guys. They may have the info for you, and could have some leads for your...
I get out there every couple months. Drive this. One of the last pax carrying DC-8's around.

Thanks for the ID. The triggers are small, 10-12". Bizillions of them and they are aggressive little buggers. Found that if I stripped the fly across the surface a gang of them would chase it...
Had a couple hours to kill on a trip to Ascension. Threw clousers into the surf. Finally figured out a way to keep the triggers away from my fly and got a few of these. I have no idea what they...
Might apply to Hawaiian bones, also. Seems to be a common phrase though. (Uncensored painting is on the wall of a fly shop on Oahu.)

I'll send the funds using the $1000 Target gift cards that I keep "winning". Send me your name, SSN, Birthdate, and bank account # so I can make the transfer.
WOOO HOOOO!! I finally won something that doesn't involve a Nigerian attorney. Thanks! Will PM you this evening.
13 sounds good as any.
I just got tagged for a trip and will have a couple days there next week. Anybody ever been stationed there, and if so, is there any fly fishing available? I'm taking my stuff and will find a way. ...
Look for rip-rap areas around dams, roads, and boat ramps that have deeper water nearby. I get them while crappie/bass fishing on clousers in #2 or 4. When they spawn, the rocky areas are really...
Oahu has some beautiful flats. This is just 10 miles east of Honolulu. My son was out there with me last year. This is his first bonefish. The numbers aren't great, but there are some pigs. My...
Took this last week while chasing bones on Oahu. The boogers would not cooperate that day, but the scenery was beautiful as always.

This is not a "clouser", but one I have handy to show the "firetiger" color. This one is on a #2, brass eyes, craft fur, sharpie for the stripes. Top to bottom is black, green, chart., flo. orange....
