Yes, please!
But consider that you’ll reach 5732 times more readers with an online version. And maybe that’s what you’re thinking already? A hard back version will end in my library, though.

I have a 10’ 5-wt, which is an awful rod - even though it’s absolutely high-end. But that’s because I thought it was a 4-wt for a long time 🤣. After I got the right line(s) on it it was a totally different matter. It’s one of the rods I often use for river sea trout in smaller rivers and streams. Ma...

So what you want is three cakes, which is easy to get, but you can still only eat one .

It’s really not hard to find good solutions to reproduce the silhouette and motion of frog’s legs. However - your hip shot fishing is the real challenge, as you say. This means as little water soaking as possible (none at all, preferable), as little wind resistance as possible (ruling most of the ob...

Cracked lines wear rod rings fast, so that line would be long gone from my reel. I also find they shoot considerably worse when this cracked. One doesn’t really notice until a new one comes on. And as said above, cracked lines pick of lots of dirt (which is a big part of the wear on rings).

My condolences to those left behind. Dan was great company, a great teacher and a man, whom I considered a friend.
Dan taught me a lot about teaching.

I’m with Paul here. There are plenty of reasons not to use fluorocarbon leaders, but one is that I find it way too stiff and it tends to open the loop. It’s more pronounced when not casting high line speed.

Too soft nylon is also not good for long leaders, but the middle ground is here I land.

I have seen the Italian style of casting 1-2-3wt fly lines and they do offer some very, very light presentation. They are, of course, mainly due to the caster and very long leader. In the Italian style, as it was presented to me ages ago, it was more about getting very high line speeds, for which th...

Paul, The way people obtain and retain information and knowledge these days is the reason. Very few people study history and I don’t mean in the 15.000 year professional span I work with. In that light, many people actually think that they have invented something entirely new, because they simply do...
