Stocker Trout Fishing News

While surfing the net, checked out Texas Fishing Forum’s fly fishing thread. Noted a question that got our attention. “How do I know if a cut off to much of my fly line……..? I’m a newbie and I’m wondering if I cut off to much. I am also looking for some lessons. I want to fish for trout in the future so I want to be able to lay the line down on the water softly. Thanks in advance” This video provides our suggestions and fits our Team’s goal… “Learn to fish by our trials and errors” which we have made lots of errors over the years. Short answer to the question… “Don’t cut your fly line… Please!”

Here is a video on how we use the Tie Fast Nail Knot Tying Tool to make a simple line strike indicator.  The line strike indicator uses a section of dacron fly line backing with dry fly dressing applied to it. The one end of the dacron line is attached to your fly line; the other end has a perfection loop that provides for a loop to loop connection to your fly line leader. We like to keep the Tie Fast Nail Knot Tying Tool in out fly fishing vest, so it is readily available for those instances where we have to retie a leader while in the field… It’s quick and simple to make; the loop to loop connection makes for quick changes of leaders, and does not require additional cutting of the fly line once attached to the fly line leader!
