I have tried black sections but it somehow isn't as black as I would like. Im currently using that black wax but ill look into those pens u where talking about, are those competition legal?
Thanks Howard. Glad you found a break in your fishing time to do another video. I really enjoy them---look forward to more. BTW, also looking forward to your newest design Hardy rod, due out soon!
Thanks Howard! I've been loving fishing the LL 11'2 #2 here in the US desert for rainbows and browns. The sensitivity is incredible!! Can you describe about how it compares to the 10'8 #0/2 and #3?
Hi Howard can you help me please you are no 1 person you designed you the best !!! which size rod to buy from new hardy ultralite ll nymphing rod and reel #0 or #2 w rod 11'2 ? Reel am like large but need to be balanced 2000 or 3000 ucl reel and nymphing line you using ? And if you can tell me dry fly line w3 you using ? I'm known is lots of questions if you can that would be great. Im 👍 👍 👍 your videos very very interesting many thanks. Miroslav
Thanks for the info. Any chance you could give us your opinions on (nymph) bead colours. Specifically the silver v copper v brass v misc painted. I see all the options but have never seen anything on the rationale for colour choices? Hopefully you can help clarify. 🤔
Hi Howard Is it legal to use these fluo waxes on FIPSM ruled comps? Cos I'm usually competing back in my mother country where it's not 100% allowed. Can U please explain in few words is it allowed on World and European comps? Thanks
Hi . It’s really quite a “grey” area and on this point I usually will ask the question in the Captains meeting or wait for a similar question to be asked . It’s allowed to grease your leader but it says nothing about the colour of the grease so some competitors use coloured grease . Coloured wax is similar although as it doesn’t naturally float you could argue it’s actually “safer” than a coloured grease under the rules! Many of the rules are out dated and not clear so generally if I have doubt I ask at that specific championship.
Thanks Howard, some great tips there.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge
Thanks for these three tips! We are waiting on your video of how you set up your new vest. See ya next time!
Jonathan Huang Sorry it’s still being tweaked , found a few bits I didn’t like so just working round them .
@@howardcrostonflyfisher9227 No problem! we will be looking out for it. Cheers
Thanks for the tips - the solidified paint looks interesting will definitely try that out
Hi Howard, any possibility of you demonstrating a hand tied leader [with varying diameters] as the one you used in your last video please? thank you
You also can try a black marker on the indicator line, it usually make it easy to se👍

Great stuff Howard, well explained as ever.

Good stuff again Howard. Could you elaborate on the acrylic option. Product type etc. As a over 70’s that might really help.
Philip Bailey Just google - Sakura Solid marker .
Howard Croston just Googled it and seen a Glow in the Dark option. Have you looked at that? It may show up over yellow indicator in low light.
Red or green mucilin? You mentioned white mucilin

Hi Howard,would you use the marker on the end of your fly line for up stream nymphing?
