Brings back a funny memory fishing on the Provo River. I had quietly
moved up on a pod of fish feeding on the edge of a drop off. I had
managed one pass and I was getting ready to flick the rod upstream for
the next one when I heard what sounded like a moose running in the
water behind me. Ther
40 feet! I was behind a bush. :-P

Reminds me of a story that happened last winter. We were stream fishing on the
Provo River and there was about a foot of snow of the ground. We had been there
most of the day and had walked back and forth on this one area that had a lot
of branches nearby. As we were leaving for the day, one of

Jimmy,
This is why most of us that make bamboo rods heat treat the bamboo before
making the rod. I have some Bamboo culms that are over 60 years old. This is to
remove the excess moisture from the bamboo. There is less tendency to absorb
ambient moisture

I'll bite-
1. Nymph fisherman goes upstream - because the most effective method
is up and across. Conversely, across and down is a good dry fly
method particularly for caddis.
2. Nymph fisherman - he is more likely to catch more and bigger fish
so his lies will be smaller

Yeah, thanks Jimmy for looking that one up. I will be teaching a
couple of the sessions of the local fly club's fly tying classes, and
wanted to use the quote for its 'perspective'.
It is good to know where it comes from.
