Hi my friends:
I haven't been online for a while, but its to be understood since in the southern hemisphere our season has just begun! Still, a warm hello and best wishes for a GREAT thanksgiving...
A great store. They did everything they could to put a nice Renzetti in my hands. That said, as you get more picky you will have to broaden your search horizons.

Offer a friend who has experience to take you and use his flies. When you get back offer to restock his supply. This way you will get to use flies someone has experience with in the area that you...
Hi Murat!
Welcome to your new addiction. It will take you a few years to get good, but you will find that it will be well worth it. Enjoy the path not the destination. Wear glasses (so you dont...
Friends:
So which furrled leaders (brand?) would you recommend? Ive seen the Feather Craft ones. Are they good? They also have Fluorocarbon ones as well. What to choose?

Hi my amigos and amigas!
Can someone comment on furrled leaders in freshwater use? How do they affect castability? Do they wind knot less? Presentation?
Thanks for your input! -Migs

I've heard something along the lines of holding the fly line between your lips and setting the drag till it just pulls it off your lips. Watch out, as I said line - not leader! -Migs
I understand all of the comments. Maybe I have to work on my loop shape a little more and the rest will fall into place. I have noticed that my effort level has decreased while my distance has...
I too have never tried a Spey rod, but had the curiosity for a comparison of the two. I assume some of the people in the forum did too, so when I found the article I posted the link.-Migs
Good to know Kengore! I ordered from Conranch and should have plenty for a looooong time. -Migs
Hi RonMT:
I can cast 70 ft comfortably, and do practice lawn casting as much as I can (specially now since in this southern hemisphere it is our off season). I marked my lines by wrapping thread...
Hi RonMT:
Thanks for the quick answer. I use Wt Fwd 6wt intermediate sink mostly. Do you let more than the head out first? or just the head mainly? (head = 1st 30 ft) What gives you more...
Friends:
Here is a very nice article comparing spey (double handed) fly fishing to single handed fishing. Worth reading:

Friends:
On the back cast prior to the launch of the line do you all let a little line slip back (to gain length) and then haul? ...or on that same stroke simply haul? In other words: on this...
I ordered three capes from him. Seems like a very nice fellow! -Migs
With fans like that I will certainly order from him.-Migs
Friends:
Is it just me or are those Whiting 100 packs just the greatest idea?
What other great things (in out FF realm) have you discovered that I have yet to see?

Think about this next time you catch one:
The thousands on this forum grab the fish by the lower jaw (check for teeth first!), and remove the hook either by hand or with forceps. The only fishes...
Hi Kerry:
Here we have Dorado (buy in murky water) so an Adams is out, Rainbow Trout (mostly in lakes) so streamers usually work best, Sabalo (a kind of Catfish), Palometa (a kind of Pirahna),...
Hi Kerry:
With a statement like that you can work some magic I sure can't! -Hats off to you-

Amigos:
Don't get me wrong in the sense that I havent tied a whole bunch and bought even more types to try. My fly boxes are fairly well assorted too. It's just that the flys I mention tend to...
