Honolulu, Hawaii, April 6,

SteveT took SteveL to fly fish at Rat Island, a mythical
place filled with large hungry rodents and equally large
and hungry bonefish that appear on the sand flats on a
rising tide.
The first day of fishing was the best. Both Steve's landed
and released five bonefish including some they could not
stop, with one large bone bending SteveL's hook. However
the second day of fishing wasn't as great and the numbers
not as high. SteveT said "there are opportunities to sight
fish, but the fish are really spooky."
EQUIPMENT: Both Steve's used 8-weight rods
and floating lines. Any color fly will work as long as it's
orange.
