Methods and materials change with time and in the case of Furled leaders, there are many new materials available.

Okay, I guess I know even less about this fly casting stuff than I thought I did. Thanks for setting me straight.

Like I said just a random thought. My point is that learning one fly very well and keeping things simple can be a very effective way to go for those of use who lack your experience or skills.

I thought I would share one of my theories with everyone and maybe one or two people will find it useful.

The majority of my dries are the same pattern and I simply varie the color and size. I...

Okay here's what you do, cut the back end of your fly line off and mail it to me so it doesn't feel neglected...LOL You need to start using a 1wt DT or a 4wt DT.......:)LOL

Good plan but I wish. It makes it worse. I live for the weekends. For a while we were getting out every other day or hit two different streams on the weekends.

I do a basic cleaning with Albolene once a week or more.

Got it thanks. I was just hioping they would have focused in on the loop the leader formed in the air. A leader that limp should form a very nice loop! it woulkd take a leader that limp for me to...

I may try the butt section of a rod to clean the cork. Right now I clean the cork with an old toothbrush and dish soap. The ONLY good thing about living down here is our season never closes and we...

I have made a couple of lines in the past and now I want to step my game up a bit but I could use some help.

I could really use some help with a decent coating to use. I can do a mono core or a...

Being the frugal guy that I am I was determined to get some more use out of my current line. side note: 1wt lines are rarely on sale OUCH !!! So I decided to try something drastic. I coiled it neatly...

I would have liked to see how they cast. The same coloring idea is used in a furled leader. We can do the back in alomst any color while the tippet section is clear. It would been cool to see how...

I got your info and will get one headed your way.

Again I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome. My love and enthusiasm sometime gets me in trouble but I apprteciate you folks being so pleasant. Joshua and I had our 80th day on the water on...

Sherpa, I realize you didn't ask me specifically but I hope you are not offended that I am answering your question. I run a straight tippet off the furled butt section. If you shoot me your mailing...

Will do, I just polished the drag discs so they would spin smoother. I will shoot some pics of the internals tomm. No machining or anyhting complicated just 2K sand paper and a flat surface. I may...

Recently I decided to roll the dice and I ordered a little tiny reel for my 1wt. It clamed to have a disc drag, CNC machined, multiple bearings,m oh and $21 to my door with upgraded shipping. It was...

We wade fish it so we fisah when they are not generating and the hatch is more based on time. They have been starting around 11am and on Saturday they went until 4 or 5pm. It was pretty light all day...

Thanks for the warm welcome folks. At one point we were on track to do 120-150 days but the heat shut is down for a while. I vaguely remember 16, I was a fly fishing fool. It's a miracle I ever got...

We tie them on an emerger hook. They are deadly tied that way as both an emerger and a cripple.

I have been using that pattern for maybe 10-12 years. I did it as a more realistic Usual. The Usual is a great fly but when a nicely dubbed body is done to match the naturals it is deadly. I now tie...

Hey Folks, I am new here so I wanted to say hi for my son and I. We call it the waste land because our closest trout stream is an hour drive and our favorite is 3 hours. Joshua, my 12 year old son...

That is very cool. All my non terrestrial dries are tied with snow shoe. I grew up in Upstate NY so the Usual is a fly I loved and fished a great deal. I like your version, The Usual has a body...

Hi Guys, I am new here but not new to furled leaders. I have been building them and using them for about 15 years. They definetly have pros and cons. For the pros, they are Very accurate, they...
