Tough to locate on public land, partly due to my mediocre calling probably and partly because I am not getting out there at the right times.

PS This is the one and only time I have ever *told* someone not to send me a product to review (politely declining had no effect), and yet they still appeared on my doorstep.

That was a good article by Phil and Paul, but as I noted in the comments section, “switch” rods are good for more than just switch casting.
Hey guys –
I’ve been in touch with Trout Unlimited’s national leadership (meaning the CEO and his crew), and they are also working on this issue.
I don’t think there’s any dispute at this point that this is a cost-shifting fight but certainly there is a risk the hatcheries could be closed if the brinksmanship continues.
This is from TU’s CEO Chris Wood, who is a real nice guy:

Traditionally, shooting heads were thirty foot sections of heavy line attached to 100′ or so of “running line,” which was thin level fly line or even monofilament.
Nowadays the best shooting heads are actually fused to the running line just like a normal fly line, which makes them much easier to handle.
Nice Steve! Â I love to see a Congressman who is completely on top of an issue like this. Â You really can’t ask for better representation than that: he understands the financial, historical, biological and social rationale for why those hatcheries need to be funded.
