FLYFISHING TACKLE & ACCESSORIES
Take a piece of string, put about a thousand twists into it, now hold the center and let the two legs Untwist on each other, which twists the pair together in the opposite direction. Now you have furled the string - an ancient way of making rope. In the early 1700's a fly fisher in England named Walton furled multiple hairs from a horses tail together to make the first tapered leader. These leaders are furled by Randy Church, a 4th generation fly fisher who was taught to "twist" leaders by an old Appalachian mountain man, his Grandpa. We twist leaders in many combinations of materials, weights, and tapers from 0-4 weight for clear trout streams to 12-15 weight saltwater monsters that will turn over your largest streamers. Add three hundred years to your next presentation. To learn more check out Randy's website here .

Dardano's is the recognized leader in boot repair, and they can repair all felt soled wading shoes that are being made today. The company is recommended by SIMMS, Chota, and other manufacturers as THE aftermarket repair service. Get one more season out of those boots with Dardano's. Visit them here.
