Gene Mueller describes the ingredients necessary to play in the game of saltwater fly rod record-chasing. “All you need is to practice fly-fishing, learn how to cast accurately, then hook a large number of fish to get a feel for the ‘magic wand,’ as some wags describe a fly-rod. When you’re done with that, stop by the nearest hardware store and purchase a deep wheelbarrow. You will need it to transport all the money necessary to chase one record after another.” In the Washington Times.
