Nice fly, but is that fly box from the new C&F style fly box range from Scierra?

An excellent web site indeed.

Recent threads are no longer visible in front page of the GFF site. I’m afraid that the new Forum can go more or less unnoticed though…

Steve, Thanks for sh

Steve, Thanks for sharing your hard work in leader calc. I am an engineer and it seems as if I am going to be plagued with being a detailed oriented person forever. I was inquiring this type of information form the local fly shops and it seems as if some do not appreciate the science behind it."just fish", they say! I understand the rational for stiffer material for butt and taper sections and softer for tippets. However it is unclear to me using your table exactly where the cutoff is. I plan on reading it once more as I may have missed it. But for now I wanted to send my thanks.

Without a doubt, Bob

Without a doubt, Bob's streamer eyes are the prettiest I have ever seen! Great article and instructions.

I just need a chart

I just need a chart or something . Need pictures to compare this size with that size .There must have been some standards at one time. Dont know if a 4/0 is 1 inch long or 1 foot long. Publish a picture chart comparing sizes.

Thanks

what is that string

what is that string thing called??

I suppose I'm really

I suppose I'm really no different than many others who have been so impressed by the teaching of Poul Jorgensen. There was another man named Jorgensen who lived on the Thunder River In Marinette County, WI. I met him many years ago and he too was an avid Trout fisherman and as I understand a charter member of Trout Unlimited. The day I met him,(on the river) he told me that he had just that day been released from the hospital having had double pneumonia! Poul and this man could have been related, their interests seem to lie so closely together. Anyhow, I have been very fortunate to have a library tape by Poul Jorgensen and I was truly impressed. A really kind and giving man.
Thank you for letting me comment.

Dave,

My Canon has been submerged three times - twice in the salt - and it still works and is closing in on 10,000 images.

Amazing what these things can take!

Martin,
Nikon Coolpix E3700 cameras swim well. Dunked myself and camera just after taking this pic. It took 2 days for it to dry out and is now as good as ever.

Good piece, Bob. Ful

Good piece, Bob. Full of sound, practical advice. It seems so easy and obvious once you see it done step by step. You're a good teacher. By the way, I sometimes use red for the pupil. I know it's not natural, but it catches fish.

Had to smile to myse

Had to smile to myself when I saw this article. My wife used to work in a greengrocery and one day came home with some avocados. They were wrapped in a similar material made as a kind of mesh...the "wire" being about 3mm. thick. I cut a 10mm length, 45 degrees at each end, tied it in at one end as a wing, carefully split it down the length and made a figure of 8 to seperate the two halves. Worked a treat! Nice visually, durable and excellent flotation!
