DerekD Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 (edited) Hi Raiders, A friend of mine is a volunteer at an organisation up at Pittwater and a box of saltwater fishing flies was handed in which he has passed on to me. While I covet them for my own fly fishing I know who made some of them (someone has excellent taste), roughly what they are worth and I would like to make a genuine attempt to return them via FR without getting into the game of "guess the flies and win the prize". I will say they are in a black box (about 300 x 200mm) and if they are yours you will know who made the box and be able to give me a pretty good breakdown of what flies are in it - I haven't taken any (yet ) but I am not sure if anyone else did before it was handed in. PM me if you believe they are yours. Regards, Derek Edited January 30, 2018 by DerekD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xerotao Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Good man, hopefully the owner is a raider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekD Posted January 31, 2018 Author Share Posted January 31, 2018 Looks like the owner has been tracked down. I know a fishing guide that sells some of the flies in the box so I gave him a call. He had a hunch who the owner might be and contacted me shortly after to tell me that the owner is a great young kid who will be very excited to get them back. My good deed for the day. Now just have to arrange the handover. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
