i have been using your strategy of clipping tippet at an angle infuriated that poker on retractable clipper too big for very small flies and usually glue in there....got in middle of nice caddis hatch 2 weeks ago on upper branch of Ontanogon and those wild brookies tug with ferocity

They are fierce for their size and delightful acrobats. Glad the tip proved useful.

good advice! yesterday the sounds of engines and traffic in town were clearly getting to me, so i drove a few miles out of town to scout three creeks for

potential brookie fishing. the change in my psyche was noticeable as i noticed a couple of rises, heard bird calls, and enjoyed seeing spring wildflowers walking in green forest. the mosquitos were even tolerable! abbey (and you) are wise…thanks

Sounds like a refreshing respite. Hope there are brook trout where you seek them.
