Waders are probably the toughest piece of gear to review. How much can I write about a pair of fancy overalls before it starts to feel like I’m just trying to hit a word count? The goal is to give you, the reader, some valuable insight before you go spend a bunch of money on new waders, but it’s tough to dig deep and find that information because waders are so derivative.

I make a point of reflecting on my teaching efforts with the hope of becoming a better educator. This often means looking through past writing projects in search of things I failed to mention. One gap I quickly noticed was neglecting to highlight the importance of speeding up subsurface presentations, specifically when nymphing. There are numerous fly-fishing scenarios when we should ditch the idea of a natural dead drift and think about inducing drag to move the nymph faster than the current, as well as to create vertical movement towards the surface.
