Re: [VFB] Going to Hawaii

[Don Ordes]

Hawaii!!!   I'm green with envy, man !!!  Don't worry about getting rusty with the old flyrod, just get used to seeing ALL of your backing and testing the knot at the reel quite often.  Just make your longest double-haul cast on your 8 wt, cut the fly line there, and then cram all the backing you can get onto that reel- you'll need it ALL!!!    Trade your dry flies for poppers and hang on for dear life!  A 50 pound trevally will make you forget there ever was a trout, or at least ease the homesickness.   Get some connections made there for some salt-water excursions and who knows? You may have a few of us 'salty' listers camped out on your front lawn (or a deserted beach nearby), savoring the flyfishing adventures in your new home waters.   DonO   P.S. Let us know how you're doing when you get settled in.
