Thanks. I've seen that article before... I think it might be a secret ploy by PETA to try and kill off fly fishing anglers. I've also seen those Koy... they are indeed impressive. That has to be one of the coolest hotels ever... love the entrance.
I've been pretty lucky at finding a bunch of info since my post (thanks to those that have sent me emails and messages) and it has me pretty excited about the trip, really. I'll be taking my 7 and 9 wts and the beach we are staying at seems to be the main place to search for bones. It sounds like 1-2 a day is a big day... but I'll cast to anything... even snorklers...
I also gather that the bottom has more coral and so you need stouter leaders.
This page is about fly fishing in HI in general... Oahu I think, but still interesting and a good starting point...
