In Part 1 of The Bernard Mystery, we forgot to tell Bernard the Dinosaur that we updated and improved our shipping processes, and he went missing from his post!
In Part 2 we learned more about Bernard’s disappearance and the odd occurrences around AvidMax!
In Part 3, we will finally see who is causing so much trouble, and where Bernard has been!
Join us in this final installment of The Bernard Mystery!

The EP Mole Crab was developed by Enrico Puglisi for big Bonefish, Redfish & Permit. It can be tied in many colors, but the best colors are Tan & Sand. The Mole Crab imitates a small round crab called….you guessed it….a Mole Crab. It doesn’t really look like a crab. It actually looks more like a sand flea or a “sand crab”. These crabs burrow and scurry about in sandy areas near shallow water. They are a favorite forage for big Redfish & Bonefish cruising in the surf!!

Getting your first fly rod is an intensely personal moment. Mine was a one-piece fiberglass model handmade with care and patience by my grandfather.
It was a beautiful thing – a tawny blank of indeterminate weight with black wraps or maybe brown and a wooden handle. Matched to a 7 weight floating line, it seemed to do a great job of casting. I was just getting into fly fishing and was being tutored by one of my best friends.
Although it was undoubtedly a great rod, I remember most of all being embarrassed that my friends all had two-piece rods that could fit easily in the trunk of the car – mine stuck out the window! To their credit, not one of them made any comments – those were good friends.
I went on to own many other rods but I don’t think I will ever forget that first fly rod. Continue reading “That First Fly Rod & A Boy’s Journey To Fly Fishing”

The Bunny Dun is an awesome little mayfly pattern developed by Jim Cannon. It imitates a mayfly dun stuck on the surface film of the water. The Bunny Dun is a seriously deadly little pattern and has been one of InTheRiffle’s favorites for a long time. The dense Rabbit fur traps air and floats nice and high, making this pattern very easy to see on the water. The Bunny Dun can be tied in many colors. Dun, Olive, Black, and Tan have been the best colors for James at IntheRiffle. This is a must have mayfly pattern in any trout fly box! Watch and learn how to tie your own!
