Visited Michaels today. I found this ribbon. 3 yards on the spool. Nice flash material very similar to Krinkle Mirror Flash.

I'm lower in the water for other reasons relating to how much water I displace too.

I maybe see things a little differently because I don't find casting long leaders all that hard. The weight in fishing with any other kind of rod is provided by the lure or the lead attached to the line. The weight in fly fishing is provided by the fly line. If you start by getting about six...
