Hey JapanRon: You were talking about flyrodding those killer bones...story. I flyrodded around Bills bait receiver last Sat and had a blast. I tied up two simple flys. They were yellow chennelle bodies with a short marabou tail that's all, nothing fancy. The hook was a 3x long number #4. I started with both flys on the leader and after one cast, not even a back cast, I hooked two bones at the same time. Now, last week the bones were small so two fish were'nt hard to land but this time they just about tore me a new one. Yes, they are getting bigger. And besides the bones I caught 4 or 5 skinnies, 2 halibut, mackerel, needlefish and many other brown bait types. Bills bait receiver is positioned in really shallow water so the flies are getting into the lower zone It was a blast.
