said: 1. Is there an advantage of using 6X tippets over 8X tippets? YES 2. What are several ways to decrease drag? Start early before the boy starts playing with dolls. 3. Are dry flies better than wet flies? No, because they are dry all the time, they get dirtier. Wet flies bathe frequently and don't tend to get as dirty. 4. Do fish target the eyes of its prey when they strike? Yes. That is why a very, very good set of sun glasses is a must. Hey, this is fun. Can we do it again? Dave |

If, like me, yer fishin' tends to be focused on the fishing rather than the catching, well, sure, there is no empirical difference -- you may as well be casting a bare hook. But if "better" is a function of fish-in-the-creel (so to speak) rather than one of pure enjoyment and other maudlin pursuits, this seems an as yet open question, no? -Dan (or not?) |

Now, at first glance, that doesn't appear to help much. Testing the proposition empirically would doubtless lead one into a morass from which it would take a lifetime to extricate oneself.

Well, they ain't vegetables or minerals, they're neither fish nor fowl, and many of them sport more mammalian hair than many of the featherless bipeds who spread them far and wide upon the Earth's waters. All of which falls somewhat short of conclusive, I'd say.....but it hangs together a whole lot better than most of the half-witted **** posted by most of the ****wits in most of the witless threads around here, don'tcha think?. :) john John.....yes.....definitely a mammal! giles who knows nipples when he sees them. |
