Saw this on the street today. Wonder whether you can add a fly rod rack? Called a ELF Fr2, it is made by Organic Transit.com Solar panel in the roof, runs on both electric and pedal power, can hit 30 mph. Well not in a head wind. No air conditioning, no heater, and no stereo, but very, very cool.
Long Island Sound fishing remains slow and little wonder, the water is still in the low 70’s. Years ago I never expected a solid fall bite until the water touched 60 degrees! That said the water in the Sound is expected to drop to 70 in the next week or so. So things may finally pick up.
Meanwhile offshore there is plenty of action and marine life, as these photos sent to me by a friend show.
Here’s my son with a decent bass from the famous waters of Wasque rip on the Vineyard.
Recently my friend created a new fly he calls the Garment Fly. Design around a fabric he found, it makes a very effective, low cost fly. In the above case he is using a chartreuse version of this new fly.
I don’t have any details at this point. Hopefully I’ll be able to more information down the road.

Mark’s Mini Crab Fly
Mark Lewchik is a fabulous fly tyer. Freshwater Saltwater, big flies, small flies, dry flies, wet flies, it just doesn’t matter. He does them all in spades. Recently I was at a BBQ and Mark handed me this miniature crab fly. Beautiful job. Without legs and claws, the body fits roughly on a dime. And check out the coloration! Highly detailed and spot on! Terrific workmanship. You got to love it.
