    Jeff....

    I have been of the same opinion, but I don't want to go against the idea without actually trying it.

    For one thing, when fishing in SW Florida, one rarely uses dry flies, and the floatability of the line isn't critical.  For most of my fishing around mangroves, I use an intermediate line........but that's my personal choice...not shared by the majority.

    Then, too, they are stripping line into the soap-"soup" which may be dilute enough to keep cleaning any residue as they fish so it doesn't build up.

    I'm going out later today to play with this idea.  I may very well learn something.

    "Don't knock it if you haven't tried it" just might apply.

    I want to be very clear that I am not challenging the idea of using the soap because I have never tried this method.  I am confused though.  I would be concerned that the soap on the [floating] line while it is being fished would break surface tension and sink it. Or maybe even attract dirt if left on. I was under the impression that after cleaning all traces should be rinsed off.

    Gordy here is the response from Capt.Barkus.  Everytime I have fished with him I have never had to worry about dirt and the casting all day was for the most part without friction.  Jerry

    Jerry, All I use is a little dishwashing soap in the bottom of the bucket, but I put in a small piece of foam,the same size as the inside of the bucket so you can stand up the rod in the bucket,and the soapy water doesn't get on the reel,but allows the soapy water to stay just above the top of the foam liner,and all that touches the water is the very end of the fly rod,and the fly line  when your unhooking the fish.
    My temp. trailer arrived yesterday,going to Florida tomorrow for a week to get is set up for sue and I.
    Take care,
    Bert

    Bert, I am in an e-mail group for Casting Instructors coordinated by Dr.Gordon Hill in Big Piney Key.  I mentioned that you had a cleaning agent in a small plastic container to keep the line clean all day to combat the dirt and slime accumlating on the lines as we fished.  If you would like to comment on this I will make sure it gets to all concerned and they will know a great Captain they can call for fishing the Everglades. Hope you have recovered from the Hurricane.  Thanks Jerry Puckett
