    Dearest Grasshopper and favorite student,

    Questions you want to ask of me? The secrets of fly fishing are for all grasshoppers to learn. Hard questions I can answer for your men. But only the hard ones should you ask.

    It reminds me of the hard questions you used to ask of me long ago as a young fly fisher.

    You are CORRECT, Grasshopper! It is a hackle guard. Most kits don’t have them anymore because I think they are more of a pain in the butt to use. Remember to use a short coffee straw instead!!

    Now you must take the pebble from my hand!

    Happens to every guy sometimes this does! Always trust the Force, not the Corp. For all grasshoppers, danger lurks when sirens blow, careful one must be!!

    Oh Grasshopper,

    To catch, one must have working fly.
    Always pass on what you have learned!

    Also, your fly should be checked after fishing when walking into restaurant to eat!!

    Grasshoppers:

    I think Master Klimes wrote an article in the fly shop section about magnifiers to wear when you are tying at another place besides your fly tying desk at home. It seems he likes them. Check out his article!!

    I hear he is a fairly good fly tier and fly fisher……..

    Oh Grasshopper,

    You seek knowledge which is good. Ask and you shall receive. There are now four videos on how to tie a parachute post and how to finish them in the Education menu in the fly tying section. Seek the section on fly tying tips and the last four videos are what you long for….

    Well said, oh faithful Grasshopper! Don’t blame slow fishing on weather but use your knowledge to catch the trout. Remember, the trout’s brain is the size of a pea and ours is much larger. Well, most of ours.

    Oh Grasshopper,

    I’m sure Kenny discussed this in your fly fishing class but I am positive that the FATC members will definitely help you with your question.

    Ah Grasshoppers,
    You must play this music to tie well.

    Oh Grasshopper Oldani,
    An old oriental curse has been placed on your head by one who never makes excuses! When Salt Gills can take the fly from my hand then and only then will he be ready.

    The “old”?? Sensei

    If you wet wade in the summer, in the cold river, and you go too deep your cojones will get cold and shrivel.

    Here are three ways to start when you get a stuck rod section:
    Grasshopper

    1. If you are still near the cold river, set your two stuck sections under the cold water for a few minutes and then give it a try.

    2. Carry with you a section of “rubber” shelving liner – similar what Kenny passed out to use for Ken’s Crazy ant. The rubber shelving liner will help you grasp the rod sections (above and below the ferrule) to pull apart. Don’t twist – pull straight.

    3. Have your fishing partner stand opposite of you and grab your rod with one hand above the stuck ferrule and below the stuck ferrule. You do the same thing facing him and then both pull evenly and straight in opposite directions.

    4, If that doesn’t work, do what Kenny said and buy a new rod!

    Grasshopper,

    Unfortunately, when you select your rod after casting it and know that it IS the rod for you, whatever reel seat design is on the rod, that’s what you get. So, something I wouldn’t worry about.

    Good rod designers will put the proper reel seat on their rod, whether an uploading or downloading reel seat, that makes the reel “in balance” with the rod.
