I've caught as many fish from what I learned reading that book as anything else I've picked up since. I had my mother order it for me when I was about 10 years old (c. 1975) for my birthday by...

I was just going to try a rocket bobber for casting distance, but I might try one of the clear ones for brook trout if they happen to be rising the day we go. I think I even have one...

Spinning tackle and small dry flies?
So I've got a few small dry flies I've collected over the years. I've had a lot of fun in the past using foam bugs behind a bobber but I recently came across the other ones I have and would like to...

I've used both. The line is a little easier to work with at higher tests than the leader material, which makes me worry about my knot strength. It's subjective but to me the leader material *seems*...
