Summary

It’s still fly-tying February, with our Fly Tying photo contest going on, plus 20% fly tying materials on our web site and in our stores. So although I do answer a question about poly leaders in lakes and one on whether to take a spinning rod when fishing with a 10-year-old, most of it is about fly tying, and should be helpful to anyone from a total novice to advanced tiers. I know I learned a number of very cool tricks in my interview with Tim Flagler of Tightline Productions (who does our awesome weekly tying videos). In the Fly Box, I also answer questions about hook quality, wool for fly tying, what to use for Comparadun wings, fly quality, and some theories about why we attach certain materials to a hook. I apologize in advance—Tim and I ramble quite a bit, but with a fly tier of Tim’s caliber the ramblings are interesting and educational.

0:00.0	Tom, this is John, in the Quarter Lane area of Idaho. I enjoy your podcast.
0:06.8	Learn quite a bit from them. I think you should share with the
0:12.4	office that they're very worthwhile because I bought my wife and myself waiters and boots from the store in court of lane couldn't be happier with the quality and
0:26.8	on shopping there almost exclusively. My question, I actually I've got three. You asked when you did the podcast on
0:37.8	fiberglass rods, we wanted to hear more about those. I would like to throw my hat in the ring for getting another
0:49.7	podcast or two on fiberglass, maybe some suggestions on a nimping outfit for streams and small rivers.
1:04.0	And then my second question is,
1:07.0	the PVC covered leaders that are available,
1:11.0	ones I've noticed were made by Rio.
1:15.0	What I'm wondering, I know what they're designed for,
1:19.0	but what I'm wondering is if you could use these or apply them to sinking lines and lakes.
1:27.0	They have graduated sink rates I've noticed and you probably correspond or correlate that
1:39.6	your sinking line rates anyway you might have to do a little homework on that one and ask a couple of Lake
1:46.8	fishermen what they think or if they've used that before, tried it it and then thirdly

2:22.0	Well, John, thanks for your call, but why did you hang up on me?
2:26.5	I never heard your third question and I'm not going to be able to sleep until I find out what your third question was.
2:32.8	So maybe next week you can call back and let us know what your third question was,
