Peter....
Very good trick. That DOES often work......but it's not the one I
have in mind.
Rain stopped here on the North Fork.....but winds with 45 MPH gusts
predicted.

Hi, Group.....
We were hosting an excellent trout fisherman who learned a good strip
strike with which to hook tarpon. Problem was that every time a fish
took his fly, he reverted in line with his instincts and raised the rod
sharply as though hooking a trout.......He lost every one.
Then I figured out a way of breaking this habit, which worked
fine.
What do you suppose I did ?
