This video was shot during our trip to Alaska’s Bristol Bay in June 2009.

A short video on the issue of anglers transporting undesirable “Aquatic Nuisance Species” with felt soled wading boots and waders.

Filmed throughout the 2009 fly fishing season from Virginia to Alaska and many parts in between. We were fortunate enough to find a few willing participants for this video.

Polarization: (Definition) is a property of waves that describes the orientation of their oscillations. This article primarily covers the polarization of electormagntic (EM) waves such as light, although other types of wave also exhibit polarization. Â What does all that mean for fly fishermen and women? Polarized Sunglasses block much of the glare coming off the water’s surface so we (anglers) can see into the water better. This allows us better opportunities to read the water, locate fish and increases our safety because we can see the bottom much better when wading. The following video shows a brief example of polarized vs. non-polarized sunglasses on the water.

This video has been produced by Murray’s Fly Shop and Harry Murray.

I know we posted this some time ago but I have recently seen a rash of fly rods broken at the ferrules and after much discussion with several of the manufacturers’ rod builders, our conclusion is that the ferrules are slipping vs. a design flaw. A question I am going to pose to anglers in the future: Have you ever taken your rod apart at the end of the day and found that one of the ferrules was not snug? If you answer yes to this question then you need to apply ferrule dressing… Keep your rod out of the repair shop and on the water!
