Choosing a Fly Reel

Filed under: Lifestyles — admin @ 11:19 pm

The definition of a fly reel has changed a great deal in the
last couple of decades. Once thought of as simply ” a place to
hold your line” the fly reel has evolved into a highly
specialized piece of gear. With phrases such as “startup
inertia”, “large arbor”, and “heat dissipative disc drag”, the
beginner can often be led to believe that they need to be an
expert in Newtonian physics to make an informed purchase. I’ll
try to simplify things a bit. Fly reel does do more than just
hold line. A poor quality fly reel is a wonderful way to lose
large fish, especially when fishing on light leaders and
tippets. Additionally, selecting the wrong fly reel for a
particular fly rod can throw off the entire balance of the
outfit. So, let’s get started learning about the world of fly
reels.

Selecting the Right Fly Reel

When looking around for the right fly reel, a person new to the
world of fly fishing will get a big surprise. There’s seemingly
just as many fly reels in the world today as there are spin
fishing reels. So let’s break things down a bit and try to sort
out the different types of fly reels on the market and what you
should look for when shopping for one.

The Drag System on a Fly Reel

There are two different types of drag systems on a fly reel that
trout fishermen need concern themselves with. The drag of a fly
reel is what provides the tension on the line. In other words,
it is what regulates how easy or difficult it is for a fish to
strip line off the fly reel. If all you ever catch are tiny
trout or small pan fish, the type of drag on a fly reel is
immaterial as it is unlikely a fish will ever pull out line from
the fly reel. On the other hand, if you get a good-sized trout
or bass on your line, the story changes completely. Once a big
fish starts pulling out line from your fly reel, the fly reel
suddenly becomes the most important piece of equipment that you
have.

Is there a leprechaun in your garden

Filed under: Gardening Portal — admin @ 10:21 pm

There is no mention to be found of female leprechauns in traditional Irish legend, so as to how they came to be .. your guess is as good as mine.

These apparently aged, diminutive men are hard-working cobblers, turning out exquisite shoes for other sprites. If you happen across an industrious little fellow hammering out a shoe, look closely - for he may be a leprechaun. Step quietly, for leprechauns will avoid humans, knowing us to be foolish and greedy.

A leprechaun dresses in old-fashioned clothes of green, with a red cap, multi-pocketed leather apron, and buckled shoes. He is quite fond of a smoke from his foul smelling clay pipe which is always close by, and he is frequently in an intoxicated state from home-brew poteen. However, a leprechaun never becomes so drunk that the hand which holds the hammer becomes unsteady and his shoemaker’s work affected. If you hear the sound of a hammer from behind a hedgerow you know you have found him.

As well as cobbling, his other trade is banking, and he is guardian to the ancient treasures. Much treasure was left by the Danes when they marauded through Ireland, and the leprechaun buries it in crocks or pots. Rainbows reveal where pots of gold are hidden, so he will sometimes spend all day moving crocks from one spot to another to elude the tell-tale end of the rainbow. If you catch a leprechaun, don’t let him out of your grasp before he reveals his gold. He’ll try to distract you with all manner of tricks and, in the blink of an eye, will dash out of sight. For such a sturdy little chap, he can move with the speed of a rabbit.

He carries two leather pouches. In one there is a silver shilling, a magical coin that returns to the purse each time it’s spent. In the other there is a gold coin for bribing his way out of difficult situations. (Don’t accept this coin - it turns into a rock). But he can be generous if you do him a good turn. Your kind deed wil be repaid with a wish.

Leprechauns come in two distinct groups - leprechaun and cluricaun. A cluricaun dresses very stylishly with a jaunty cap, large silver buckles on his shoes, beautiful gold laces and pale blue stockings. You will never see him wear an apron or carry a hammer. He has a jolly grin, a slightly pink-tipped nose and is almost always drunk and cheerful. Pass him by, for he never has any money, or any idea where treasure is buried.

A cluricaun will steal or borrow almost anything, making merry and creating mayhem in your house during the hours of darkness. He will happily busy himself raiding your kitchen, pantry, larder and cellar and after dinner he will harness your sheep, goats, dogs and even your domestic fowls to ride away.Through the countryside he will race them, over the fields and into the bog. Leprechauns denounce cluricaun behavior, but it has been said that cluricauns may just be leprechauns on drunken sprees.

You can make a trap with common household items. Take a net, a cardboard box, green paint, green tissue paper, some pennies and an old shoe. Firstly, paint the cardboard box green and place the old shoe inside. Cover the opening with thin green tissue paper. Carefully lay the pennies on the tissue paper. (If you don’t want to use real money, you can easily substitute chocolate gold- wrapped coins or make your own by cutting circles out of cardboard and painting them gold).

Place the trap near some trees or hedgerows. Make sure it’s disguised well and blends into the surroundings. When the Leprechaun sees the coins he will try to collect them. He will step onto the tissue paper, it will break and he will fall into the box. Now quickly throw the net over him.

You can also try to lure a leprechaun with some poteen instead of an old shoe. When he falls into the box he will drink the brew, get drunk and then you can grab him.

No one has yet caught a leprechaun, but don’t be discouraged. Start looking today. Good luck !!
