This week on How 2 Tuesday I go over how to mark your fly line so that you know what weight it is. Some fly lines come with this already marked, but it is easy for it to get rubbed off. I use a sharpie and a method involving different thicknesses of lines to make sure that I always know what weight fly line I have. I’ll always do this as soon as I get a line so that there is no confusion down the road when changing lines. Often I’ll change lines when there is plenty of life left in a line for it...

I recently received a question about how to create the strongest connection between fly line and backing or fly line to leader so I figured I would go over that knot on the podcast today. Whipping a look in a fly line can be done several ways but I prefer to add 2 nail knots for added protection against failure. I’ll show how to do this with a Tie Fast tool. I dont use many tools but this one is worth getting…and it’s cheap. If you are listening on audio, be sure to check out the video that goes...

I have often talked about the Deck of Cards workout on this podcast and it is certainly a really fun, engaging workout. However, I have had an issue with the cards blowing away in the wind.

Your character determines your destiny. There is an example of character becoming destiny - imagine two boats. They are maybe in a race or setting out from the same port, and they look like they are going in the same direction. But they are a couple degrees off, and over time the boats start to get furthe...
