		<description><![CDATA[Another excerpt from our upcoming book Long Flies. This story is &#8220;hot off the press&#8221; because it&#8217;s a story about a fishing experience I had last week in Alaska. Some anglers have difficulty considering these actual fly fishing tactics, and that’s okay as long as they don’t try to make others stop using these tactics. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These are also known as micro-rings because they are indeed micro. They&#8217;re called tippet rings because they are attached to the end of the leader body (butt section plus tapered section) as an attachment point for the tippet. OK, how micro is micro? Well, they come in 2 mm and 3 mm sizes (that&#8217;s about [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Tying the Nailess Nail Knot every time one needs or wants to change a leader is a real pain in the back side. In addition it requires that the line be trimmed back an inch or two with each change, This is good for line manufacturers because one would need to buy new lines on [...]]]></description>

After a night in a local hotel, I continued on to Denver early this morning, getting here at the Merchandise Mart an hour before my first presentation on Fly Tying. This was immediately followed by a program on Nymphing. An hour [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sounds a bit like an oxymoron, but it&#8217;s so easy and so fast to tie, that even oxen can do it. The nail knot has been around for a long, long time, and it&#8217;s a really great way to attach the leader to the fly line. I actually attach a 12—15 inch piece of leader [...]]]></description>

Back in the days of gut leaders it was the knot of choice. When nylon appeared, the Blood Knot hung on, but with the same restriction [...]]]></description>
