Our local guide and assistant coach was a man named Antonio. He
introduced us to the techniques and flies that they use in northern
Portugal. Tony was very well versed in some techniques and tips that
we here in the USA have probably not seen to much of. I thought I'd
share some of them with you and maybe you can use a few of them on
your home waters.
1. Boiling your leaders - Much of the fishing we did was at a very
short distance with extremely light tippets. Tony boiled his leaders
for 5 minutes. The bioling turned them into basically one solid length
of shock gum with very little loss of breaking strength. We dry fly
fished with 7 foot of tippet and a 9 foot leader. With a quick hook
set the stretch and suppleness of a boiled leader kept us from
breaking off fish.
Well, then, I suggest anyone who wishes seek out Tony and become his
disciple...maybe you two could, er, hook up and form the most powerful
fishing information league the world has ever seen...OTOH, if one wants
"shock gum," RIO sells it...rather than supplying a recipe and a
teakettle with their leaders...
Oh, by-the-by...Tony is just as wrong as you...is Tony's last name
"Germuga" and does he hate them scaramouches and jamokes at some store
somewhere in Yankeeland?

Fortunately for anybody with any sense Dickie boy, you saying so does
not make anything wrong. Indeed, after reading a number of your posts,
it would not surprise me to learn that a lot of people simply ignore
you anyway, as there is not even amusement value in most of them.
After a while, your boyish bull**** and bravado just gets old and
boring Dickie boy, and people realise that is exactly what it seems to
be, immature nonsense from an adult who ought to know better.
