On Saturday we made the ultimate decision to end the suffering of our beloved Lab "Trico", I know he was just a dog but not to us and the hundreds of children he had contact with at Janet Weis Children's Hospital on his monthly visits along with Federal Prison's, Nursing Homes, VA Hospital's and Children's reading programs not to mention a great fisherman! There is a big hole in our hearts and we know it will take a long time to close.
I forgot to mention that last Thursday I tried a new leader, "TroutHunter" Finesse Leader 9' 6x with 18" of 6.5x TroutHunter tippet tied to the end, right out of the UV resistant package I could see that it was a good bit softer than other packaged leaders and the nail knot was really easy to get a small one tied but on the water it performed like magic! The Finesse leader turned the #20 BWO emerger over with ease and it was a dream getting to the spot I wanted every time, great turn over & accuracy means a keeper in my book, cost is $4.75 each but with the 18" of tippet this leader will last a long time. Check out TroutHunter or Feather Craft to get them, also try their tippet material- it is simply the best I have every used.
