Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Prompted by the Noob Question about lines

But casting is more fun.I have a $10 ebay micro-scale that has a 'grains' option built in. It's a fairly easy process. coil up the first 30ft and put a twist tie on it. weigh it and subtract out the weight of the twist tie (2-3grains). I usually tare my scale with the twist tie.You have to be careful with how the rest of the line lies off to the edge, but it is close enough. It isn't a precise science. ...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} High water Virginia browns, etc.

Gene, Great pics! Way to make the best of a bad situation. As far as the streamers go im not sure there is a wrong way to fish em. I will say this when those little streams get super high the hydraulics in the middle get nasty and the fish push up on the edges to get food and protection . I like to high stick streamers right on the edge when its up and muddy. On smaller high gradient stream I like to throw up stream and...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Some TPFR updates

Mark,10-4, we're on the same page about performance shirts, and I think the supplier we're going to use for hats has the UPF polyester shirts for a price that allows us to make some money and be palpable to our members (between $20-30). For the Beer Tie assignment, we'd like to try this out with TPFR providing the materials and a recipe (maybe an expert demonstrator as well), so we don't send you guys on a wild goose chase for...

{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Some TPFR updates

Shirts: t-shirts are cool, but not just cotton. How about printing on "performance" fabric, polyester, long sleeve and short sleeve. If the new graphic isn't too too complicated perhaps offer an option for having it embroidered on polo shirts and/or "technical" fishing shirts. If TPFR is not sure of overall demand, perhaps take orders in advance. There are also web sites that will take your submitted design and then do the rest...

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Noob Question: Line Choice

Dave,To answer your questions: no it's not all equal, and yes different lines will affect rod performance. Despite this I'm still pretty sure a heavier line will be easier to cast in the wind, but I'm positive you'll find the experiment more meaningful than my explanation why.

Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Noob Question: Line Choice

While this is still totally derailed, I was thinking about casting style. One of the things Lefty preaches is "If you ain't built like the instructor, you can't cast like the instructor", meaning he recognizes there are multiple casting styles which are all acceptable so long as the result is there. But! He then goes on to tell you things like "keep your elbow on a shelf" and "reach way back behind you to make...
