If you’re throwing dry flies on a small stream all the time, then you can nail knot a tapered leader onto your line and not have to deal with it very often. On the other hand if you’re fishing big water using different sink tips, changing from swinging to nymphing under an indicator, or using a shooting head setup where you’re changing heads to meet changing conditions then you’ll find loop-to-loop connections will save you a lot of fishing time.

Then I attach my leader to the butt section with a clinch knot (not an improved clinch!). To me it is the best of both worlds. A clinch knot is easily untied with two pulls on the knot. It is also MUCH faster to get an entire leader on and off. I’ll even rig up individual leaders with an indicator, split shot, and flies and keep it wound on a spool in my chest pack just incase I need to switch to a nymphing rig later on or vice versa. I also tie my own dry fly leaders… (google: “Harvey slack leader”). All in all it boils down to ease of use for me. And I don’t want to have to snip back my fly line when I have replace a leader. I use a new leader basically every trip. Anyway, great conversation. Thanks!

No doubt Galloup’s influence on Streamer fishing is second to none, and no doubt my biggest fish ever caught are using his streamer patterns and techniques! Post some pics!!!

]]> Comment on Fly Fishing Idaho’s Lesser Known Rivers. The Blackfoot River. by Gerald Mill http://www.flyfishingfrenzy.com/2009/03/16/fly-fishing-idahos-blackfoot-river/#comment-34216 Gerald Mill Thu, 18 Apr 2013 15:57:35 +0000 http://www.flyfishingfrenzy.com/?p=2149#comment-34216 How many more articles like this one do you think it will take before all the “lesser know rivers” of any where will remain lesser known? Why don’t you write about how to fish rivers like the South Fork, Clearwater or Henrys Fork. These rivers are of such a size that they can handle the pressure of another hundred angles but the lesser knowns are small and the experience one seeks on these small streams is destroyed by the mobs internet articles generate. And whats the idea of putting a cutthroat in the grass for a photo opp? Did you keep the fish? No sin in that I guess unless regs say all cutthroat are to be returned immediately to the water. Do you happen to know how long a trout’s gills can be out of water without being substantially compromised? If you are going to release the fish why pick it up at all? A hemostat and barbless hooks are awesome things and allow one to release a fish still at your boot in the H2O. Yeah, I guess you made me angry.
