    Interesting piece about George Daniel

    I have met George, we had him present at one of our TU meetings last year and he will be back this May to present again. Super down to earth guy.

    He does really like dry/dropper or "suspension nymphing" as he calls it.

    I liked this point...

    • The biggest mistakes in nymphing involve line and leader placement relative to current seams. Casting across varying currents invariably creates drag.

    Well if you go on to read he speaks about body positioning. That will eliminate any of the problems related to that statement. Also, I don't think that he was fishing long leaders at that time.
