    I think there is one more slot in there. I know many, like the legend George Harvey put many of his line specs into articles and even books. I like that. It is nice to be able to build such and experiment with such. Even with special leaders and Tandem sets. I remember Hank Roberts sharing with me a Nymph Streamer Leader that he put on the market. I have built them for my own use since. I for one do share things to a point, then there is just some stuff that is simply and will always remain top secret.

    I do fish level lines most (OK all) of the time. But, if the leaders are still in circulation I would give one a try.

    are the leaders still circulating? they've not made it this far.
    fly fishing and baseball share a totally deceptive simplicity; that's why they can both be lifelong pursuits.

    The leaders are still out there MR.JML had a few medicial issues and just got his evaluation finished. They should be in the mail to the next person on the list sometime next week. Sorry about the delay...

    Lines are in the mail to the next guy in Texas. I also had e-mailed the report on the testing. I would like to see more testing under real fishing conditions. I will be happy to share my report after everyone else on the list has finished testing , so that the testing results will not be skued. Thanks for the opportunity to test this and I apologize for the delay. I hate hospitals, Doctors, and being bedridden. I need a long fishing trip to secluded Mountain wilderness long about now.

    lines rolled in here late last week. plan to go out Thursday to my favorite Tenkara stream and have at it.

    BTW, who put the ultra-realistic house-fly fly into the pack? it fell out of the package unnoticed onto the kitchen counter, and caused great distress to the daughter helping dinner-clean-up. i nearly swatted it until i noticed it was not moving, and looked Somehow Different...<8-0

    The Virtual Horse Fly. Thought you would like it. Douse it with Floatant and have fun casting it on the water. It will catch all kinds of fish.. Where there is water, there are pesty Horse Flies. Where there are pesty Horse Flies and water, there are fish. I tie all kinds of flies, including Tenkara. Your Daughter would have really freaked out if I would have put in the Bumble Bee or the Spider !!!! LMAO They will all be in Rick Takahashi's new book on Terrestrials !!!
