Default lost/Stolen gear

Did anyone lose a massive bag of assort fly fishing gear this week,month or year?

I came across a really fishy ad (puns) where the allege owner is selling an entire fly bag for $100(YES $100)with:

approx 15+ fly box ( Yes... 15+ fly boxes of flies, all kind of flies for trout, pikes, walleye etc... )
3-4 long nose pliers
grippers
20+ different leaders (pikes/trouts)
floaters/strike indicators

too many stuff to list. This is easily worth over $1000.

Yes, this is a throwaway account, no I did not steal it.

Location is Calgary.

Indeed, its a hell of a deal. If any of y’all can describe it, i’ll gladly give it to them. I picked it up and wowsa, enough flies and supplies to last me for years.

All i have done is organize the flies. I got about 6 empty small fly cases out of it


*yes, im trying to be vague as there is not alot that can be identify by the original owner. All i can say that its a fishpond.*

I had a good friend who had a bunch of gear stolen out of the trunk of his car Christmas Eve. I don't know what all he had but if there are any high end sage rods in the mix could be his. PM me if so and I'll give you his info so he can give you specifics of what was taken.

I don't know man, I was thinking it was quick cash for stolen gear. I never heard of anyone selling an entire fly bag for that low price. You usually get sellers who know the full value of this stuff.

I got over a dozen poppers and 2 cases full of clousers.

Edit: 0x to 7x fluroflex tippet as well.
