Sunglasses

February 6th, 2008 · No Comments

I will wear sunglasses

The Frank Flynn Memorial Match fished on the lower Tees around Yarm attracted just 22 anglers because of the horrible conditions, but there were still fish to be caught.

Ian Lumb of Newman Scott made the most of his draw at peg 187 on the golf course section, after opting for feeder with worm.

Choosing The Proper Fly Fishing Leader and Tippet

January 22nd, 2008 · No Comments

Selecting the correct tapered leader and tippet for the type of fishing you are about to do is crucial. Nothing can spook fish quicker than an oversized tippet for the particular situation. On the other hand, and undersized tippet can result in the fly fisher losing their trophy before they even get a photo opportunity. We will start at the very basic of leader and tippet selection and then get more specific, and hopefully conclude with enough information so we�ll always have the proper leader and tippet for all upcoming fishing scenarios.

What is leader and tippet
