Educational Fly Fishing Poker Card. Deck
Fly Fish Poker playing cards. Each deck of Freshwater Fly Fish cards contains cards which have a 4-color photograph of a popular freshwater fly and a description of the fly on the card faces. A specially commissioned oil painting of freshwater game fish is on the card backs. The decks are packaged in a handsome 4 -color tuck box.
Each deck is standard size and also marked with standard playing card suits and numbers (Jack, King, Queen, 2 - 10, hearts, spades, etc.). Play any standard card game with them or do a modified GO FISH game - Got any "Montana Stonefly" ? GO FISH.
Images and descriptions are very educational and detailed. You learn about the flies, their origins and uses as you play. Make up your own games - read the descriptions aloud and see who can guess which fly it is.
Sample Descriptions:
Montana Stonefly: This nymph pattern is the perfect imitator of the giant salmon fly nymph. It can be tied in various sizes, and though it can be tied in yellow or orange, it is most often tied in chartreuse pictured above. It is most effectively fished in spring when stoneflies are hatching. Cast it loose and let it drift along the bottom.
Adams Irresistable Often considered the best searching dry fly, the ADAMS IRRESISTIBLE imitates many bugs in a trout's diet. The mixed brown and grizzly hackle resembles caddis wings in action, making it a good fly to use around pocket water in caddis hatches. It can be difficult to see, requiring an angler to perfect the presentation.
Parachute Hopper This dry fly imitates the abundant grasshoppers found during the brief hatch between mid August and early September on most western rivers. The parachute is designed to make this fly buoyant for a long float after casting. Many variants in color, size, and shape make "hoppertunity" a productive and fun time on the river
Silver Doctor A complicated pattern that was preferred by salmon fishermen of the 19th and early 20th centuries, the SILVER DOCTOR was originally tied with exotic bird feathers. Still popular today, the current pattern imitates the old, using dyed feathers in lieu of the exotics. It is fished wet for landlocked salmon and steelhead.
Many more descriptions and photos are contained inside the deck.
