  1. You may want to check out TerraserverUSA, a Microsoft product. It's photos are perhaps dated for what you want but it does give the date of the media. Terraserver was the first terra bite server application. It stored and made available SPIN-2 Russian satellite imagery available on the internet and was originated by Microsoft, then sold. There is still a commercial version Now you can buy a terra bite hard drive at COSTCO for a few hundred dollars! John

    Shad flies

    Yes, 1/32 oz (1/64 oz ?) yellow/chartreuse or yellow orange darts in tandem with a regular shad fly about 18" behind. Used a 6 wt RPLXi with a floating line-the shad dart was an attempt to get the shad fly down in heavy current above Chain Bridge on the Potomac. It worked but caught the fish, Hickory Shad, on the shad fly. I now use a 200 grain Airflow sink tip and no shad dart. The shad fly was a Joe Bruce design that has worked well for me. Joe Bruce Shad Fly Joe's fly can be tied in other colors, especially green over yellow but also red over white (silver tinsel body) as well as pink or purple over white. Another good one is the white eztaz body red head-can be eztaz,chenille or even a red bullet head, with a short white marabou tail. I tie my shad flies on a size 6 Gamakatsu SS 15 hook.

  11. Do a search. I got some good information here--fly fishing =--a couple of years ago. Try Hawaii Bonefish John
  12. Its all carbon fibre/fiber in fishing rods. Note the higer tensile strength of graphene carbon fibre and the high modulus of elasticity (stiffness) of graphite carbon fiber. Note that graphit is crystalline and graphene is semi-crystalline. What about "Bucky Ball" reinforced materials for reels? John

    leader formulae

    Oh! That is what you are talking about. I fished out there a little last summer (N) Newport Beach area and while researching found an artilcle "Corbina on the Fly" by Richard Jacobsen. He uses 15-20 feet of 6-8 lb test Stren Magnathin (green) and points out that casting this rig must be learned. The article is on Dan Blanton's site as well as at least one other. Have fun experimenting! John Flat water was not too common while I was there--perhaps the reason for the popularity of surfing!
