My goal is to carry the Project Healing Waters message to flyfishermen in all 50 states. Please check the websites then send me along. I have a long journey.
THE TAG IS A DUPLEBUG TAG, SINCE THE ORIGINAL WAS LOST.
This is a second life for Zachary the Purple Zonker. This time it is a laminated business card with the tracking code displayed prominently on the face of the card and a message on the back. In the first life, this travel bug was a piece of paper inside a film canister, yellow body, blue top, attached to an actual TB. It went missing in 2011, so I recalled it to recreate it and start over. I guess there is some slim chance that the original might show up.
Dan Byford of Colorado came up with the design for the Purple Zonker in 1974. It is one of the modern American Rabbit-lure patterns taken from the original Rabbit flies introduced from New Zealand. The Zonker is used for all species of trout as well as large and small-mouth Bass. It can be used in either lakes or streams.
Zachary is one of twelve characters created by artist Kirk Werner for three books designed to introduce kids to fly fishing. I have created a Trackable for each. If you would like to see them all, here are the trackable item numbers: TB3E3X5, TB3E3Y2, TB3E3X7, TB3F6AD, TB3F69B, TB3F6AW, TB3F69V, TB3F69Z, TB3F6AV, TB3F6A3, TB3F6A5, TB3F6A0. You can copy/save the image from the site.
Please send Zachary along. He has a long journey.
