POST FLY MEANS WHAT IT SAYS: GET YOUR FLIES BY MAIL EACH MONTH  

 

P1030569
Fish beware, your fly is coming in the mail to your nemesis a serious fly fishing angler!

APtravelnews-August 3rd,-Goose Holler Farm, TN.—Month to month nothing stays the same in the life of a trout and other game fish. In the spring there are emerging insects from winters grasp; waterborne insects come up from their hiding and growing places.  There are flying insects that reproduce over water. As spring morphs into summer, terrestrials such as beetles, all manner of caterpillars, moths and butterflies, mosquitoes, grasshoppers, ants come onto the natural scene. Trout work midges, often smaller than the size of a pin head stuffing themselves, they slap at Mayflies, slurp any insect that flows or drops into their realm.

Along came Brian Runnels, Founder and President of PostFly! The idea is to constantly match the hatch for fly anglers who just do not have the time, or where-withal to know which flies match the hatch of the times they are going on vacation, or planning a local trip to the stream, river or lake.

PostFly folks send by subscription, a selection of flies, apparel & gear delivered monthly to keep the erstwhile angler up-to-date and ready to take on the challenge of the “spotted ones.” The Premium box sent out to subscribers contains fly powder, high and dry dope, a 2-pack of leaders and a selection of quality tied flies.  Personally, what a great idea and entrepreneurial business. Solving problems by taking the guessing out of outfitting for that perfect vacation trip or weekly, weekend outing.

Go postflybox.com and ask Brian about the simple particulars by going: [email protected] or give a call at 888-310-3357P1030570 P1030568

Whatever the hatch is for the month, PostFly has got you covered!

Chasing Trophy Fish lures would be "what's for dinner" if I was a predator. They actually look real and better in many cases than the real thing with fins and smell!

APtravelnews- August 2nd, Goose Holler’ Farm– Product Reviews–When I met Vaughn Holderman (owner of CTF Lures) at ICAST, in Orlando, FL., I knew from his passion about his excellent products and his obvious love and knowledge at such an early age, that this lure company was special! He mirrored many generations of would be anglers who grew up marveling and loving their tender-years experience down at pond, lake, ocean, bay, river and stream. Well, Vaughn has really outdone the hard-lure genre and soft as well, with his jointed and straight stick and swim lures. The lures are available in the following patterns: Brook Trout, Perch, Shiner, Shad, Tiger Trout, Pickerel, Northen Pike and Palomino. There are divers, square bill crankers and wobblers in big and littler bait sizes. His soft jointed and wire jointed are in large and small sizes as well.  These lures as stated on their brochure are “As real as it gets.”  www.chasingtrophyfish.com
