When Choosing a Reel Choose a reel with an exposed rim, so that you can apply additional drag on a running fish with your fingertips. This is a delicate and effective way to fight fish, without the risk of getting your fingers anywhere near the revolving handle and breaking the fish off.

Keep Your Line Clean Keep your line clean. Scum from the surface and general use can affect both the floating, and shooting properties of your fly line. Ever had trouble getting that line hand back up during the double haul? If you feel your techniques tight, then its a fair bet its your line. Clean your line regularly in warm, soapy water, before running it through a lubricant such as Airflos Whizz lube. Clean lines simply perform better! |

The Airflo Ridgelines generate more line speed than any other lines on the market. There is nothing like them for casting big lines. Even casting into the wind with a couple of tungsten nymphs is a piece of cake.

I always like having the best stuff and when it comes to fly tying C&F Design is where it’s at. And once you’ve made those perfect flies C&F have the only fly boxes I would ever consider using. You might as well have the best!
