    Hey Paul –

    Czech Nymphing is basically the lifting-and-dropping of the rod to control slack I described above as the nymph passes you.

    Will’s got a good point there about experimenting.

    You’ve done a very nice job with that, Ben.

    The worst I would expect them to do is tell me to stop, and a lot of the music you are hearing was never released at all.

    I definitely agree with you on that Ausable.

    Hahaha, I knew you wouldn’t let that slide, Jack.

    I’ll tell you exactly what is going on between me and the BIIx, and I know you’ll understand it.

    First, I’ve hit 115′ with a five weight in practice, so we’re talking real distances.

    Hey Au Sable –

    I agree with everything you said except that the rod is “clearly a copy of the BIIx.”

    CS2 is a Professional level piece of software and it’s mostly only useful if you expect to be working with layers a lot, like to mess with histogram curves, or expect to be processing a large number of images.

    They’re not free; they are a problem, but it’s a problem no one seems to care about right now.

    Not as regularly as I’d like, but I have targeted the following with flies on multiple occasions:

    1) Carp
    2) Smallmouth Bass
    3) Largemouth Bass
    4) Bream, Perch, Crappie, Rock Bass, etc.
    5) Striper (unsuccessfully, but I have over 150 hrs trying).
    6) White Bass (a blast in their run)
    7) Saltwater species

    Things I plan to target extensively in the next year:

    1) Carp
    2) Longnose Gar
    3) Muskie (hopefully with MikeA)
    4) All of the above at night under underwater lights; a special project I am working on.

    Podcast feeds are picky and I had a few technical difficulties, but the podcast should be a-ok now.

    There’s an argument to be made for consolidating parcels of federally held land; selling little outlying pieces of no historical value (and usually too small for much environmental value as preserves, etc.) and using that money to buy more land that’s contiguous with a national park or large forest.

    Hahah, me either, Cameron, but those same shots have been submitted for a Smokies piece I just sold to Fly Fisherman, so you may still see them.

    Those Sperrey biggest-size nets are offered with 10″ handles.
