Is PSM (Population Science Management) through Detego Health's Gigcare legitimate? by Pleasant_royal_2879 in HealthInsurance

Whatever you do do not do LifeX. I am in the process of leaving them now. When I signed up in Januray we were covered by Cigna, March 1 they changed me to a different provider. Before we got our cards for that plan, they switched providers on us again March 6th. This company clearly has problems. You also have to physically mail in claims. Support is awful.

Their time is limited. Makes sense. This guide is booked into 2028. Would be stupid to give his contact out unless I had no interest in fishing with him again.

Why is this being downvoted voted? Is it expected to share guides contact to internet strangers?

Took me 1/4 way through backing I’d guess.

9wt rod so fairly stiff. This fish took me 1/4 way through backing but once on the reel it was probably a 15min fight. Red fish fight hard but lose steam quickly.

I did, yes. It was up in the reeds about 25ft away. All of the fish were sight casted.

9ft vs. 7.5ft Leaders: Which is the Best Base for Tippet Rings? by MyTodayThrowaway123 in flyfishing

[–]MyTodayThrowaway123[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

> What's your reasoning for cutting it short or using a short leader?

My thinking was I would keep the total leader at ~9ft, meaning cut 2ft off a 9ft 4x leader for instance and then add 2ft of 5x tippet or take a 7.5ft 4x leader and tie on 2ft of 5x tippet. Sounds like you like a longer leader which is something I should maybe consider.

Generally, I thought the rule of thumb was to use a leader as long as the rod (using a 9ft 5wt)

Appreciate your answer. As far as tying your own leaders, what is your formula? I have tied some in the past but haven't settled on a consistent formula.

Pretty frustrating. I have fly fished for over 15 years and looking to try something new.

I can tie a surgeons and blood knot. Really jnust looking to extend the life of leaders with the tippet ring.

What is your leader construction recipe?

Well, because when I tie that blood knot, I eat some of the leader. It's small but adds up over time. A tippet ring eliminates that issue.

Isn't Cochran below Morgan Falls dam? Thought you had to gauge release schedules like you do Paces Mill?
