"Hot" Fly Rods and Reels

[Rick Hale]

FYI

The Fly Fishing Store ( K K FlyFishers in Overland Park, KS) my wife manages, was broke into this last weekend. They got $150,000+ in Fly Rods and Reels.

If you find a good deal on "new" fly fishing equipment -- Check to make sure it's not HOT-- Serial# have been turned into the manufactures..

Also the reels will not have the bags and boxes-- the rods will be missing the rod sacks or tubes..



Thanks HaleDamage



PS; Yes they did have Insurance

The Alarm Company said the thieves were in and out in about 3min.--



Have not tried fly fishing yet. Looks like fun--small tackle box--long rods.

Rick, there is nothing quite like fly fishing for trout! When fly fishing, I use almost strictly dry flies - I love the excitement of seeing the fish take it on the surface! I can't tell you the number of times I have had smaller fish leap out of the water to take a fly before it even lands! Then the big ones just quietly come to the surface and slurp it in!
