I think the line under ratings you mention came about with the advent of fast high modulus graphite rods. For many they are much easier to cast and gain extra distance if over lined.

Remarkable work!

Thanks for that!

Really enjoyed it, thanks.

Good luck to those dealing with this. It would be a crime too see such a beautiful stream compromised by such brazen carelessness and disregard.

You raise a very good point. I believe Hatch (?) magazine in the USA dedicates space in it's issue to such concerns in the US. I would like to see our own publications do the same. Fly Fusion magazine comes to mind as good one to adopt such a policy. The normal fair gets some what boring and redundant after a while.

I lost a box once, so I know how it feels losing one. A good idea is to put your name and a contact somewhere on the box.

Vibrant alone on slippery boulder and cobble freestoner streams is a HAZARD for anyone not wanting a fall. Forget about having secure footing. Had Simms vibram and exchanged them for felt, and suggested to the fly shop I purchased them at that they warn folks that they are not the same as felt on slick rocks! No questions asked when said I wanted to exchange them for felt boots after a days use.

I'd be focusing on getting regulations that restrict jet boat use on small streams. Meanwhile leaving the barbed wire issue alone.

That's a lot of water to cover while walk & wading particularly for a new comer. May be better to select a stream that offers more fishy water per km.

Great documentary vintage fan or not.

I know the area intimately and can't think of a stream within your driving range that isn't classified.

That video brings back memories. I know that location and those fish well! Did 5 or 6 consecutive trips there between 2000 and 2006. At that time it was pretty much undiscovered. It is a unique fishery with a very interesting history associated with it.

Old guys rock!
