I’ve got a flat stone w/ a V cut into it & a rod, also w/ a V. The rod fits into a small holster, the V helps to keep the hook aligned, especially small ones & even w/ a chisel point you can do all four edges two @ a time.

This author carried a file and after a period of nymphing would resharpen the hook. I am not as diligent as I should be on checking that and it sounds like my mentor Tony isn't either.

The main thing was for them to catch fish, right? You accomplished that. Sometimes the guide doesn't need to catch any. And at least you got back to the house safely and the problem was a simple dead battery. :-P JIMMY D Anthony Spezio wrote: -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.
