Group...
My last communication with ol Al and his group, got me to thinking of a
very brief quiz for us :
1.) Name at least 3 knots which might be considered for joining the
segments of the tapered section of a fly leader.
2.) Give the ADVANTAGES and the
DISADVANTAGES of each.
3.) You need a quick, "emergency" connection between the butt section
of your leader and the end of your fly line after loosing yours to a barracuda
bite. The fish are there.....but not for long, so you have little
time.
What would you do ??
4.) You are using a 10 wt. rod matched to a WF11 I line for
"quick casts" to amberjack which show up at close range at any
moment.
What material would you select for the butt section of your leader
?
5.) Your student is going to fish a mountain spring creek. He's been
told that the trout are usually very wary, selective, and are taking flies in
the #18 - #22 range. Your rod is a 3 wt., and you are using a TT3F
line.
a. What material would you advise him to use for
the butt section of his leader ?
b. What connection would you advise between this
butt section and the end of his fly line ?
6.) This same student wants to know how to make an emergency, "on the
stream" connection between the fly line and his leader. What do you advise
?
7.) a. Do you lubricate your material as you tie leader knots ?
b. Why ?
c. With what ?
