- Fly lines can be expensive, and simple cleaning maintenance can add years to the life of a fly line. Steve Schweitzer writes about “Flyline Maintenance 101” in this article on Global Fly Fisher.
- George Daniel, author of Dynamic Nymphing, focuses on an often overlooked tip when nymphing: blind setting the hook.
