I think I do a lot of these mends, but there’s a lot more I can learn here. One thought: have you thought of shooting a drone video showing the various mends? An overhead view of how the line travels over the water would give me a good sense of the angles you use. Cheers, Toney

If so would you cut the loop off the fly line and either snell ,splice, nail knot or blood knot the Harvey to the fly line and would you based on stiffness change your transition piece connecting fly line to Harvey. Would you change that transition piece if you went from 4 wght to 5 or 6 weight
Lastly have you any thoughts on Double taper versus weight forward lines and how they compare and impact the Harvey’s performance

When mending the line and leader should my goal for the leader be 30%, 50%, 90%? The obvious reason for my question is the more leader I try to mend the more I move the fly.
Thanks,
Scott

Yes, absolutely. That’s one of the reasons I choose it. Because the rod I carry does everything I would like, without compromise.

Hi
For dry flys are you still using your 10 ft 4 wt rod?
Thank you!
Love what you do
