I'm putting this in here as its the only place I found any discussion on "fluff". So... what is the deal? Is it regulated in any way when used in competition circumstances? And, other than for visibility, are there other reasons for it? I thought I was using it to keep from cracking the wh...

I use a product called "303 protectant". It is common in most marine stores and one bottle will last a lifetime if all you do is use it on flylines. (It is also very good on canoe hulls, especially if they are left outside in the sun. It is billed as a sunscreen for boats.) It is PU based,...

Folks,

How do you get messages that you have created to get out of the "Outbox" and into "Sent Messages"?

My stuff seems to get stuck there and not get "delivered".

Thanks!

Paul, I purchased the ones I have tied some flies with. I think the package actually said "fly lips" or something similar. They are tough to adjust, and twist when you cast or strip 'em too fast even after getting the fly to swim right. But... they can be fished downstream by feeding and h...

Vincente, How large of a streamer, and how deep do you want it to swim? In a current? How long are you willing to wait for it to sink? Generally, I find that using all synthetic materials, tying sparse so they don't trap air, and wrapping lead wire behind the hook eye will get a 5" saltwater st...

If we can choose body position and alignment that is beneficial then I think we should teach it. Often I don’t have this opportunity with a 1-2 second shot. Vince doesn’t always have this either with his challenge of backcasting into a gap… but these are exceptional circumstances. Normally we can c...

Re post 308... "I’ve also been working on some drills to simulate fast water presentations on grass. After landing the fly, they have to do a full arm strip slowly without the fly moving to demonstrate that they have put the slack in, the presentation has the line as high off the ground as they...

I cannot tell a difference when casting, but for setting the hook into a hard mouth fish the difference is significant. So much so that I suspect that a low stretch core would be a poor choice when using light tippets, like for trout. I say this because if that hard mouth fish is prone to jump immed...

Stretch and release? Let me take a guess... which has a better than 50% chance of being wrong. :( But I believe it is a common instruction for kids who want to be US football quarterbacks? If you Google for football passing technique coaching, you will find a number of slow-mo videos of famous NFL q...

Oh shit...

LK is Lefty!

I thought LK was Lasse, so I went all over trying to find his saltwater book!

I'm ashamed as I knew LK#1, and disappointed there is not a LK#2 book.
