This week I'm going to recall one of my columns from the archives, March 5th, 1999. I'm doing this because over the last few days I have learned of at least two guys who have had this happen to them. My point is that there are a lot of helpful ideas in the back articles. Just because they were written a long time ago does not necessarily mean they are out dated.
The two rods that were broken were owned by fellows who have been members on FAOL for a long time. Just hadn't found any good reason to look into the back issues. It has now cost both of them a broken fly rod. Some things are so simple and seem so trivial and unimportant that we may overlook the information when we see it. This article can prove costly if you miss it.
There are also many other ideas in those writings and I hope you can find the time to check them out. It may pay you well in exchange. http://colo2.flyanglersonline.com/cst/
