The Heddon Project: The Plan

As the end of another South Carolina winter nears I am starting to think more and more about fishing the ponds and streams nearby for bass and bluegills. It didn't take to long before I schemed up what I am calling "The Heddon Project". The premise is to fish a Heddon Pal Pro Weight #8383, Heddon Imperial #125 fly reel, and then find a few old Heddon fly lures. Think of this as the Heddon/Heddon/Heddon outfit.


I'll be searching high and low for a few of the old Heddon fly lures over the next few months. The process of the "Project" has begun!

Cameron,
Sounds great...Project Tripple H. Are you planning on tying the flies or finding a source to purchase?

Cameron Mortenson said...

No...I want to find original Heddon fly lures. They come up on ebay fairly often...but sometimes their prices go higher than I'd be willing to pay. The last one I saw closed at $275!

I've got all winter...so hopefully I can find one or two that will work.

Cam,
Send me some pics of what you're looking for. I might have something that you can't live without...LOL

Cam, it will be interesting to see how long you can do this without missing some of your other rigs.

Howard...I don't think this will be a summer long objective of fishing the "Heddon Project". I'll fish all the outfits. Don't worry.

For some reason I am really looking forward to fishing a lot of warmwater this spring and summer.
