What have you done lately to help *anyone*. I doubt very little.

You have absolutely no idea.

And, it ain't bragging if it's true.

I rest my case.

Myron and I didn't fish that way, and in fact I didn't see *anyone* doing the
"shuffle". We only fished the kiddie hole for an hour or so and then moved on
up river, though, so maybe the shufflers came later in the day. I only saw one
fish that looked a little beat up, and that was on the flats above the hole.

You've just described Wolfgang to a T. Still, I miss the nasty little
jerk and wish you hadn't run him off with your pollyanna platitudes.

The philosophy of not skipping too many tippet weights is supposed to be for
the same reason. I learned that, when you tie on a tippet, to push the two
different sides together and make the tippet curl in a section including the
knot. If the weights are not too far apart, the two pieces will both curve
and you'll have a nice semicircle. If one is too thin, then it will 'hinge'
at the knot, and the result is that the tippet won't turn over correctly. Is
this also BS?


For deep/heavy water nymphing, I think that dropping down a number of
sizes, along with the hinging effect, has some real advantages. If you
go from a short heavier leader butt straight to a 6 to 10 foot piece of
tippet, you are going to be able to sink your fly much easier and there
will be less resistance from the current. This will allow you to use
less weight, will make for a more drag free drift and will give you
better contact with the fly.

I suggest you look at Dave's post that started this ****ing contest.

As far as posting opinions about another person's shortcoming on ROFF,
you have to be joking.
