Lost Fly Box – Credit River – August 24

Ian James is offering a reward valued at over $400.00 for the return of a box of flies that was lost on the Credit River, August 24, 2008.

The reward includes a full day of guiding with Ian James and a dozen of his Brass Ass nymphs, an Orvis top-seller.

One of Ian’s acquaintances was fishing the Credit River and lost the box containing nymphs that took years to acquire.  According to the email I received,

“I accessed the river at the Forks of the Credit parking lot just
north/east from Cataract road off Hwy 24 to Caledon. I fished
downstream so I guess on the East side.  I started fishing at the
“little rapids” at the Caledon Recycling/Disposal area and worked my
way down stream about 1/2 between to the cataract falls. I know I had
it at the falls when I changed nymphs but did not have it when I was
further down stream. I fished those rapids (just up stream from the
bridge that crosses it), and then walked in the bush along a trail to
the railroad track. I walked the tracks for about 10-15min and then
accessed the river and then worked upstream back to the bridge/
Caledon Recycling depot. Somewhere between those 1st rapids and after
my walk in the bush and along the railroad tracks, I lost the box.

The box is made by “Springbrook, about 5 inches by 3 inches. It is
hunter green (the exact green as every grass and plant that grows
along the river bed) with a yellow foam trim for the water tight
seal. Inside are two sides of foam for nymphs.”

If you located this box, contact either myself leaving a comment below or Ian James directly. His contact information is on his website at http://ianjames.info
