Tie a piece of Amnesia to your flyline using a Needle Nail Knot. Tie the other end of the Amnesia to a micro swivel with a 3-turn Clinch Knot. Whenever you want to change your leader just cut off the old one and tie the new one to the other side of the micro swivel with another 3-turn Clinch Knot. And then say goodbye to getting those huge Perfection Loops that come on you leader caught in your rod guides. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfd9b5da217b83c462fdb70/71d1b30d-db05-44ca-826f-43e30135c6ef/IMG_1701.jpg Arkansas River Fishing Report - Rigging - Make it stand out I prefer a simple piece of Dacron backing to a monofilament sighter. They are adjustable, quick and easy to tie onto your leader, and may even be more visible. If you’ve ever left the tags long on your monofilament sighters, you’ll love how supple Dacron is and therefore virtually tangle free. https://www.nathanlarimer.com/arkansas-river-fishing-report/amazing-fishing-continues monthly 0.5 2024-04-27 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfd9b5da217b83c462fdb70/e5ab21b9-27e6-4782-a799-d657fac11478/IMG_1610.jpg Arkansas River Fishing Report - Amazing Fishing Continues - Make it stand out Every foamy spot between Trading Post and Texas Creek was full of thousands of Blue Wing Olives and trout sipping them on the afternoon of Thursday, April 18th. https://www.nathanlarimer.com/arkansas-river-fishing-report/now-is-the-time monthly 0.5 2024-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfd9b5da217b83c462fdb70/1712548366382-XPH9P6RIU8R84ORPAYAF/IMG_1592.jpg Arkansas River Fishing Report - Now Is The Time - Make it stand out Looking downriver toward Pleasant Valley near the town of Howard on Friday, April 5, 2024. https://www.nathanlarimer.com/arkansas-river-fishing-report/spring-is-here monthly 0.5 2024-04-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfd9b5da217b83c462fdb70/8df54f64-3037-4be5-926d-2d23f938e2aa/IMG_1546.jpg Arkansas River Fishing Report - Spring Is Here - Make it stand out Looking upriver from the Big Bend boat ramp on Thursday March, 14 2024. https://www.nathanlarimer.com/arkansas-river-fishing-report/winter-is-here monthly 0.5 2024-04-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5dfd9b5da217b83c462fdb70/5ac2eecd-2b96-4c75-8479-7a566674df26/IMG_0625.jpg Arkansas River Fishing Report - Winter Is Here - Make it stand out Looking upriver from the Hecla Junction campground.
