I was prone to this when I first started out. Mine was a lack of timing (starting my forward cast before my backcast was completely finished) and trying to hard to get a good cast (using too much...

I received a DT 5 wt for Christmas, but have not been able to cast it yet as it's pretty frozen here. I can say that I do like the color. It's a nice natural olive color. I'm hoping the fish won't...

Ostrich herl works well and is extremely easy to use.

[url=http://www.thefishguy.net/hot_glue_tying.htm:dab0c]TheFishGuy[/url:dab0c] also has some instructions on how to tie with hot glue. The egg cluster is interesting.

mgreeti/jjonas: I use the method that you suggested and jjonas uses and it works wonderfully.

ducksterman: It does depend on what knot you use and most are stronger than a surgeons loop. I use a...

Jim,
I received mine yesterday. Thank you so very much. Not only do they look great to me, but it also got my oldest daughter (she's 6) interested in them as well. Both of us were impressed...

JC - I've used this knot on plenty of occasions and it works exactly as advertised.

deathb4disco: I was using the improved clinch knot, but I switched to the Orvis knot this spring on my *cough* spinning tackle *cough* and I like it a lot. It seems though that you may be right. ...

The tippet material that I'm testing with is a little old. I bought it last August, but it's been hiding in my closet for most of that time. Since I'm only using 6 to 8 inches of tippet material...

Here's my problem, my knot at the fly is too strong. Whenever I break off, it's always at the knot connecting to the leader. I don't like this situation for a couple of reasons. First, I don't...

Sometimes a strike indicator is useful. I make my own, the recipe is at [url=http://globalflyfisher.com/fishbetter/indicators/index.php:9a196]GlobalFlyFisher[/url:9a196]. They work well for me.
