Reply To: Vintage Flies

What a great find! If the hooks are not rusted at all like you say, then you have a gold mine here. Maybe not for trout but bass and bluegill for sure. Each of these flies could cost you a buck or two. I use these same flies in the pond near my house. Many areas now have ponds with bluegill and small bass. Although my pond gave me a surprise when I caught a bass over 13 inches and two catfish over 15 inches during one afternoon. Grab your fly rod and find a small pond or lake in the local area. I can tell you a few – usually warm water species will be back in the Spring (May is my favorite month). But get a fly box and load those flies up and head to a pond. You will have a blast!
