*If you hear the fly touch something in the back cast, fish the cast out first before you check if the tippet got hurt. *Stop the frequent checks if the rod sections have worked loose. A rod tip in the water is a real killer. *Let the line hanging behind you tangle up with the wading stick. *Start browsing your fly box for the next fly with the other one still in the water. *Stillwater fishing with indicator: When you can't find the indicator fly after looking away, search for a while before assuming it's under water.
Done them all... the last one, too many times. /Nick -----Ursprungligt meddelande----- Från: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] För Jimmy D.

I'm sure each of you can add several more. ;-) ******************************************************************* Jimmy D. Moore - Scout Exec. BSA (Ret.), TOWA, TF&G Contributor, GRTU Past VP.
