Re: Little tricks to share

I fish a lot of salt water but this works just as well on lakes and streams. It is amazing to see so many people lay the rod and the reel down on the sand or on the rocks because they can't find any...

Re: Ever get one of those knots.....

I often wonder why I can't tie a fly on that will hold as well as some of the knots I get in my leader. Why just yesterday that would have been two more trout I would have caught.

Re: How many flies?

The biggest problem I have found is how much all those tiny little flies and boxes weigh when you load up the vest. Maybe it is old age and the shoulders are getting weak. I think for me and a lot of...

Re: Tieing fly line loop to new leader

The Perfection Loop is more than you will need. When tied properly that loop will hold. There are so many things that will give way to a big fish before the Loop will break. A 30 or 40 lb Butt...

Re: What do you consider a "caught" fish?

I am in the same boat as standman, I voted for fish in hand, but my friends and I all have set the rule of thumb as " once the leader is within a foot of the tip of the rod, it is a caught fish.
