Yuba Rock of Power ode to Howard and Jim

Siphlonurus surface skate.
Crouching leopard, rainbows porppus.
subtle emergence.

Cast and mend,

fureld leader spider's web.
Flossed in the jaw,
palmerd hackle hooked tight.
Big fish.

Chris, I think in the near future we need to fish together. I think we both have a lot more in common than not. Maybe we can share some secret spots with each other when the fishing is real hot, and we can write a colabrative haiku about it. Net some fish for each other.
Let's stay in touch pm wise.
Best T.

Can someone educate me on the uses of a furled leader? Do you use them for dry fly fishing as well as nymphing? Any recommendations of ones to buy?

Ryan here's a link I think you might like about furled leaders.

I like them for dry fly casting. I make mine about 12 feet long and I use trilene 2lb mono then nail knot 4x Tippett to that.
I grease them with floatant and they make a really smooth casting transition from mainline to the fly they can feel like a spider web to cast. If you live in the bay area swing by my shop and I can help ya make one on my jig. And or you can make a jig as well super easy.
Also there great they last along time and you can make them whatever length you want.
