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----- Original Message -----From: jerry puckettTo: Bert BarkusSent: Saturday, January 14, 2006 3:11 PMSubject: infoBert, 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.
