Hello Everyone, I wanted to kick-start the Flog Box in April - it's a box of flies and a log book which get sent to a "host" angler for a couple of weeks to use, lose, replace and even add to, before being posted off again to the next host in line (a bit like the Vagabox started by Tenkara USA). It's just a bit of fun to see what you can catch with other people's (random) flies, stick a few of your own in there and follow the Flog Box's footsteps around the UK, maybe even the globe! Fill in the log book with your detailed accounts, ramblings, diagrams - pretty much anything goes - and post a few highlights online for everyone to read.  I just want to gauge interest and am proposing the following slots: April 1-15 April 16-30 May 1-15 May 16-31 June 1-15 June 16-30 July 1-15 July 16-31 August 1-15 August 16-31 September 1-15 September 16-30 October 1-15 October 16-31 Any takers? Thanks, Christian |

Hi All, Fishing with this type of fly box is fun in a few ways - 1) you get to fish with other folk's favorite flies - 2) you are limited to what is in the box (if you want) and have to make do with "any" fly instead of "one" fly - 3) you get to read and share other tenkara angler's stories and experience in a very personal level. I participated in the Vagabox and wrote a little blog entry here: www.tenkaraonthefly.net/2012_09_16_archive.html Unfortunately fishing time is now living here in the UK much more limited and can't commit to a date of fishing. Tight Lines, Karel |

Tight Lines, Karel Hi Karel, Thanks for the insights from your experience of the Vagabox. Sorry you can't have a go this time around. Took a look at your blog entry and really liked your site - great watercolour as your header. Hope you get out a bit more than expected this season! Christian |

Phil has already grabbed the dates I'll be fishing in Llangollen with my father. Not sure when I can commit to another section, however, I will if I can.
Daniel.
