mannym Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 This I know, probably one of the strangest posts ever on ISA bassbuggers. Let me explain: I am headed up to the Menominee river in two weeks and will be fly fishing only. Target fish are smallmouth and pike. My issue is I am running out of time to tie up more flies. The biggest reason is that I have been busy canning loads of pickles. So, here is my offer. Hopefully, I am not in violation of ISA rules. I am, for a limited time, willing to trade pints of pickles for flies. These pickles are made from cukes out of my garden. I do not use any chemicals and have only used organic fertilizers. The flavor is sweet and spicy. They are great for bloodies and Chicago style dogs. I have been canning these for two years now and have had many many compliments. Most of my coworkers have tasted my pickles. :-) I live near Starved Rock and work in Bolingbrook and some days in Aurora off Eola rd. I will be down at Evergreen Lake this weekend but will meet anyone in the evenings during the week through next Thursday. I am not setting any standards on what type, size or amount of flies. I am good with what you think is fair. Just know you are getting a pint of some fantastic sweet and spicy pickles that will leave you wanting more. I currently have about 20 pints and 15 quart jars. Many more to come. Thanks folks. I appreciate it! Manny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob G Posted July 30, 2014 Report Share Posted July 30, 2014 Manny, though I live a little too far away to partake of your pickles, (sounds like they would be tasty) I'll be more than happy to send along a bunch of flies for use up north if you'll PM me your address.

Tom L Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 Manny, I have a few flies to spare. PM me your address. As for the pickles, I'll take a rain check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Clifford Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 I'll take the canned pickles if they don't want 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannym Posted August 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2014 Next time there is an outing near by, I will be sure to bring extra jars! Thanks to TomL and RobG. Both stand up guys always willing to share info and help a fellow fly guy out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
