Yep, we’re on the New Years Resolution bandwagon. Here are 10 ways to be a better angler in 2010.
- I will not trout set on a bonefish.
- I will carry a hook file and use it religiously.
- I will get to know the locals.
- I will re-tie my leader after landing a big fish.
- I will fight fish quickly, handle them minimally and release them gently.
- I will not use too much top hand when spey casting.
- I will appreciate the beauty of the places where I’m fishing.
- I will thoroughly clean anything that went underwater when moving from one piece of water to the next – especially my boots, waders and boat.
- I will practice casting before my next big trip.
- I will support the organizations that protect the fisheries I love.

Do not “trout set on a Bonefish”… some times easier said than done.
Happy New Year!
3 additional “fishing” related resolutions I have:
1- introduce a youngster to fly fishing
2- practice casting lefthanded so I am better in a driftboat
3- fish somewhere I have never fished before
Guided clients willl not where bright clothing while stalking trout .
Learn and practice mending your flyline in mid air.
