Go Fly Fish Card Game

The Meg-A-Egg fly: "a simple pattern, formed from a clipped ball of fluorescent yarn, was created for steelhead, Pacific salmon, and rainbow trout. The fly should be weighted and fished on a dead drift to imitate real eggs." Not just for killing time when the fish ain't biting, the Saltwater Go Fly Fish game is a card set of 26 pair of fishing lures photographed in brilliant full color. It's filled to the gills with info about design and performance, tips on feeding habits, and tricks for catching the big ones. Some of the lures are for both salt- and fresh-water fish, and there's a wide scale of information on fish in various geographical locales. In the event of an untimely encounter with the herring oil, the laminated cards should be just fine--smelly, maybe, but not stained. Stash the deck in your tackle box--it's a great reference tool for old salts (young ones too). And it's a lot more fun to pack around than a field guide. --Julie Ubben
