As for the tippet ring I have been using it about a year now and find it extremely useful, because of no knot tying. In fact I have only tied on a couple of new leaders this year on some of my fly reels. The ring helps you stay with a leader much longer. I see the leaves are slowly taking over the streams--Thanks for sharing <br />Bill Trussellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351692272817692157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-30153839023645176042013-10-28T12:46:00.451-04:002013-10-28T12:46:00.451-04:00your new header photo is GORGEOUS! your new header photo is GORGEOUS!

While the leader alone will not solve this problem, what may help is to use a shorter rod. Cutting down on your cast will help, keep it short. A rod that will roll cast is a big help on these small brooks. But my friend you were out there and able to enjoy the day.Brk Trthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12677442640158367831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-48150630807861498232013-10-28T09:00:25.086-04:002013-10-28T09:00:25.086-04:00Good stuff my friend.

They last a long time as well.<br />I'm also looking into another brand of fluorocarbon furled leaders for a little more stealth & quicker sink when fishing streamers for sea run brown trout.<br />Gonna check on that big sea run brown I lost awhile back this coming Sunday and see if he is back in his holding spot.<br />Boy we need rain badly.<br />Hope you're feeling better.<br />JohnAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7050365015235775568.post-2452310989857826672013-10-28T08:47:35.742-04:002013-10-28T08:47:35.742-04:00Brk Trt,

The wind was whipping very hard and a tree came crashing down about 50 yards from where I was fishing. Spent most of my time untangling my leader and tippet from the branches. Will a furled leader cut down on my time spent in the trees? <br /><br />PetePeter Carlsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15485735604565680983noreply@blogger.com
