Rolf Jacobsen emailed the following smart suggestion; thanks, Rolf! Via email: I just watched your new video on storing the line/leader and fly by wrapping it around the reel foot. While that works with some reels, with many others the leader gets caught between where the foot attaches to the reel housing, (that little space where they meet). CFO’s and some Hardy’s….. please don’t ask me how I know this. What we tend to do is wrap the line/leader around the reel spool/spool housing. Then go up and attach the fly to a guide that’s suitable for keeping the fly line out of the rod. Just a thought…….
You got it, Scott, and thanks for the kind words! Also, feel free to shoot me an email (tcammisa@gmail.com) and I'll add you to my email updates for more tips; thanks! Tim www.troutandfeather.com
What a great tip, extendering your leader line around the butt of your rod. Your never to old to learn a good fishing tip. Thank you. Fred Engel (74) Hamlin Lake Michigan.
It is so simple and makes sense...as the best tips typically do! Thanks for taking a moment to comment, Joes, and I hope all is going well for you. Tim
@@scottmitchell7002 Have you heard about the method to tap your rod and the fly jumps off? I’ve heard this for a number of people over the years. You let a little bit of line from your reel and between the guides, then tap the butt section. The fly will jump off the guide!
Glad to know it works for you, too. Depending on the leader I'm using, there are times when it will hang a little more loose so the section going through the eyes doesn't kink. This is something I watch, basing it on the rigidity of the leader material. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Tim www.troutandfeather.com
great tip! but when is the review of the Orvis recon euro nymphing rod? I've had my eye on that rod for a while and this last month I tried euro nymphing for the first time with my Reddington CT 8'6" 3wt and it worked amazingly.
Thanks for the comments, Adam, and I'm not creating rod review videos...yet! If you'd like more detailed info, shoot me an email. For now, the Orvis Recon is a beautiful rod to nymph with, and perfectly meets the needs required of a 10' rod. Thanks again for taking a moment. Tim
@@TimCammisa Trout fishing here in CT has been very good. Striper fishing along the coast has been good too. Still concerned about the fishery, but enjoying the best of both species.
And if you're walking through woods, lift your fly line over the blank wrap it around under the blank then catch it on several guides. This closes the gap that might grab a bush. Walk with the tip of the rod pointing backward.
Tim, I have a general question regarding fly lines. I use a floating line such as Mastery Trout when I am either fishing dries or nymphing in the early spring or fall. When I fish deeper water such as the North Branch of the Potomac in Western Maryland I tend to think that I should be fishing an Intermediate line with a sinking section fishing bead head nymphs or streamers. What is your take on this?
Hi David and those are great thoughts. When you say deep, how deep is that water? In most cases, when I am nymphing, I prefer a Euro line and a long, thin tippet that cuts through the water. Shoot me an email for more information, but something like: Braid Core: amzn.to/2NbZv4Z OR Mono Core: amzn.to/3su3vjs LEADER: Rio Euro Leader: amzn.to/3xDHxOC From the leader, I tie on tippet that is about a foot or two longer than the water's depth. Hope that helps, and my email is: tcammisa@gmail.com Tim
Michael, that's an excellent comment and very smart to share. Like you, I tend to hook the fly into the guide foot (closest to the cork) in nearly all instances, except with larger patterns (such as the one I used in the video). Thanks for pointing this out, and I appreciate you taking a moment to comment. Tim
That's tough to say, mainly because the best bamboo is Tonkin (and not from the US). Most that is grown here is far too flexible and wouldn't produce a rod with a substantial backbone. TC

Hi Tim, I have been using this tip for long time. It is simple but very useful.
It is so simple and makes sense...as the best tips typically do! Thanks for taking a moment to comment, Joes, and I hope all is going well for you. Tim
Learn something new everyday, thanks Tim!
You're welcome, Jesse, and thanks for the kind words! Tim
Super video. I learned a great tip and one I will use always. It will also protect my fly rod. Thanks Tim.
Regards Danny
Glad to hear, Danny, and it's a simple one that pays dividends! I hope all is well with you. Tim
That's a great tip, Tim! Thanks 👍
You bet! Thanks for taking a moment to comment, Scott! Are you like me, constantly moving, too? Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa I am, indeed. Sometimes I find it easier to fish my spot and then move on land. I am always hooking my fly on the rod and walking.

@@TimCammisa I think I saw that once somewhere. I need to learn how to do that. It would be a cool trick 😎
Great Tip Tim, an old habit of mine is to hook into the brace of the stripper guides instead of the ring. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, Chester, and I appreciate you taking a moment to comment. Tim
I have been doing that for years. Good way to go from one spot to another.

Great channel Tim. I am still learning after all these year. Fished the spruce creek last week. Had a great time.
Awesome, I was just there a couple weeks ago!

Thanks Tim for the tip. That will come in handy.....:)

Missouri guide gave me this tip last year!
Glad to know it's being used by more than just me, Patrick! How's everything going on your end? Tim www.troutandfeather.com
@@TimCammisa Great over here and thanks for sharing your tips! By the way the tying is improving!
thank you, will try that
Let me know how it goes, Robert, and I hope all is well! Tim
of course great tip thought about that a lot very frustrating with it sometimes takes the good feeling of it
Recommend hooking it onto the guide's frame instead, in order to prevent damaging the ceramic ring which can also impact line resistance and wear.

been doing this for over 20 years

I know where a pile of bambo is how big of a wt could I go and isnit hard to make one
That's tough to say, mainly because the best bamboo is Tonkin (and not from the US). Most that is grown here is far too flexible and wouldn't produce a rod with a substantial backbone. TC
I tend to put my fly farther up the rod and then tap on my rod after unlooping my leader
Such a smart idea! Thanks for sharing this with others, as the fly will "magically" unhook itself. ;-) Tim
