Grandpa,

Well, yes and no. Not all that many fly fishermen are cyclists, and not a lot of cyclists fly fish. By coincidence, I fly fish and ride bikes. However, I don't wear waders (neoprene or breathable) while riding my bike; nor do I wear lycra while fly fishing. Or bait fishing either.

I assume you're referring to bicycle nuts in the same affectionate way you'd refer to fishing nuts. Right?

Oh, uhm, it isn't the lack of a skinsuit and "pointy hat" that limits my speed. Think about the cause of wind resistance.

Todd,

Of course! Old school it is. At least for me. I've still got pre-ban polar bear and heron. Should last me a while, especially with no fast sinking lines.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
