Hi. As a "rookie" fly fisher I have used this site to gather enormous quantities of information. I love this site. I appreciate the respect you have for all opinions, and the deep love all have for fly fishing. Although I have fished most of my life (starting in South America) I only picked up fly fishing 3 years ago. I now have a couple of rods and reels and the list is growing. This might be a stupid question, but all my rods came in a "sock" for storage. Does it really matter which end of the fly rod section is put first into the sock? Does it really make a difference? I want to maximize the protection I give to my equipment and if it does make a difference I would like to do it right.
