Over the years I have learned tips and tricks from some great folks !
1. If you want a floating leader to sink, you don't need to use "sinkant". Just rub mud on your leader and stretch it through the mud a few times. It will sink.
2. When casting with a Spey rod make sure to tape the rod segments. ( make sure you do not use regular tape as it will damage your rod, so use tape that electricians use ) Because of many direction changes during casting the rod segments can twist or even fly off.
3. When you tape a rod start about an inch above the connection and rotate down to about an inch below the connection. Start and end at the same side of the rod so you will be able to get the tape off easy, even in the dark.
4. Don't take reels containing lines in your hand luggage on a plain and they can be confiscated.
5. A quick and easy knot to use to connect a fly or make a dropper line is the Uni knot. It can be done fast, even with cold hands or in the dark.
