Stupidity, he said, you would not believe how many fly rods get slammed in
car doors or snapped by a power window because the tip is hanging out or broken
by trying to yank a fly off a log or a branch.

If you look beyond the sport(fly fishing), it encmpasses more than you
realize. Jason Borger told me that it, 'gives you a different thought process
toward everday life.'

It is just plain fun to watch a fish inhale a big dry fly with the intent to
kill and eat it one splashy take.

The fly line is often overloooked in discusssions of rod action. The wrong
line could ruin the experience of using a certain rod. It's an intergrated
system.

The truth is both largemouths and smallmouths will come to the surface to eat
any old bass bug just about anytime, anywhere. If they don't, it means
they're either not there or they're in no mood to eat, and you might as well go
home.

I have been practicing to cast left handed and also to strip the line in iwth
my left hand.
At times I shift the rod and other times, just do it the way that it is in my
right hand to cast.
I rarely hook som ething large enough to have to go to the reel to fight it..
Rick
I also do in on soft hackles, wooly buggers and wolly worms. Also for
somepanfish fly bodies. Rick
