23.01.2022 Listen to Lefty's views on casting and the mistakes we make in flyfishing. We can continue to learn from this wise and accomplished sage even after his passing. His views on unnecessary expense when it comes to our rods and reels are fascinating.

03.01.2022 Below are some words borrowed from US publication "Fly Tyers" Mag and the author Pete Elkins. His words will resonate with those of you who have chased the "Mud Marlin". If not you need to get out there and experience this truly remarkable fish. Fly fishing for carp is a personal obsession. Given the explosive wave of gear, flies, lines, and publicity surrounding carp on the fly, it’s obvious that many other anglers share my passion. And it’s easy to understand why. Carp ar...e distributed throughout the United States and beyond. A carp can attain proportions that will overwhelm an 8-weight rod and make you wish you were using a 10-weight outfit. Even a carp in the three- to six-pound category will make a comparably sized trout seem anaemic. Best of all, a carp will eat a well-presented fly. Despite that happy fact, there’s what I call the permit connection. You can select the correct fly and make a perfect cast, and still a carp might refuse to strike. Unlike permit fly fishing, where on a great day you might cast to a dozen fish, a common day on good carp waters will provide many more excellent shots at fish, but they can still be tough to catch. If you have never seen the backing on your trout or bass reel, you will if you hook a good carp. Simply stated, carp are the stuff of a fly angler’s dreams. Converting those dreams into reality, however, can be a challenge. See more
