"Deserve's Got Nothing to Do With It" THIS WEEK we revisit a favorite essay by Robert DeMott. "Possessing all that expensive signature gear, all that specialized angling information, and all those righteous piscatorial skills makes our collective fly fishing ventures appear to be bulletproof, beyond assault, impregnable to triviality, low-mindedness, and comic pratfall. Arrayed to the teeth in our cutting-edge gear, what could possibly go wrong?" Read "Deserve's Got Nothing to Do With It." Tim Flagler demonstrates how to tie a pattern he calls the WD-40 Plus in this week's featured video. "It’s really just a regular old WD-40 but with a split wing case and an emergent wing," says Flagler. "Using the tying sequence shown here, it can be tied in the smallest of sizes without ever worrying about blocking the hook eye." |
