It's not often a genuinely new wrinkle in fly fishing comes

Um......oh kay......but, amazingly, I've never missed the dinner bell because
I couldn't land a fish on my own.

Lessee....palm to palm I sport a 6 foot wing span, add a couple of feet if
using a trout net...fishing with a nine foot fly rod (boron, of course ;-) and
allowing for the rod to effectively "shorten" by a couple of feet when holding
a fish, I should be able to use up to around 15 feet of leader and tippet and
still be able to reach the fish with that net...
