We’ve published a book called, The Fly Fisher’s Book of Lists: Life is short. Catch more fish.
We like to say it is a book of bite-sized snacks. Maybe even like a handful of potato chips. It’s an entire book of lists. The goal is to help you find practical help quickly and in an easily digestible format!
I am lucky to have a couple of guides (Mike & Evan) who are lifelong family friends. In July 2016, I broke out my flyrod after a long hibernation and my buddy Evan joined me. My casting came back within minutes but my hookset took a little more time. After missing my third fish, I looked to Evan and said “Damn. My timing is off. I keep missing the hookset.” Evan simply replied, “Yea: by a minute.”
Tight Lines
Ha! Great story … so true. Timing is something for which you develop a feel … Well, at least you’ve got the casting down!
thank you so much for posting!
