Lefty Kreh made the 50% rule for leaders and I use it all the time. A 9ft leader is kind of standard. There is a very simple formula, the one made by Lefty. 4+2+1+2=9 4.5+6+3+1.5+3=13.5 We start with 50 and taper down to 15. We start 4ft of 50lb, 2ft of 30lb, 1ft of 25lb then double the last distance of 2ft of 15lb. Listen to me walk through it or here’s a video where I explain it:

I always like my flies to look exactly like they did the moment they came off the vise. Fly tiers tie them in specific ways that help the fly swim properly and often times improper storage can result in the fly not swimming correctly. I use the plano edge boxes and plastic sleeves to protect all of my flies and jigs. The plano edge boxes prevent rusting and the plastic sleeves help to keep the feathers and other materials in perfect condition.

One thing that makes the Florida Keys unique is our tide schedules and how you can have completely different tide flows depending on where you are. I see this as a huge advantage because you can always be moving to an area that best suits how you’re fishing. These tides can become very complex though. Back in the day we had to memorize and guess how tides would change in the backcountry, but now there is all kinds of technology to help you out. In this episode, we dig into how exactly the tides work in the keys.

I took a question from the audience today. I liked this question because I wrestled with this as well when I was guiding.

“How do I tell my customers it is time to go home?”

I will give you my thoughts but there is, of course, no one way to do this.
