AndyJust a word of warning for fellow fly fisherman. Someone broke into the back of my truck tonight and stole about $3,000
work of fly reels and other equipment. Orvis Battenkill Bar Stocks, Mid Arbors and a Orvis Frequent flyer rod 5 wt fast tip. Didn’t break into cab of truck, just slashed the truxedo top and grabbed stuff out. (back tailgate was locked)They were specifically looking for fishing equipment. Tools and brand new sander were left alone.
occurred between between 4:30 pm and 6:45 pm on 9/28. On the good side I caught a nice 12 and 14 inch brown. Caught nymphing with the Bentley’s Balls.Please pass on the warning so people don’t end up in my situation.

A fine idea!
I figured fly fishermen were of the minority that would not steal from one another, so like this fisher, I leave all of my gear in the bed of my truck. Guess it’s time to invest in that leer top I can’t afford.

I am not sure that is necessary but that is your call. The hoodlums will break into anything to get what they want. These incidents happen and it is unfortunate. Who would have thought a bear would kill my goats, but all the forethought and fencing did not protect them enough. I guess the phrase “Shit happens” may be pertinent here. It is a tough time to spend money that you don’t have right now.
