Thanks to a well-known angler and fisheries biologist Brian Chan, we now know that chironomids will suspend a few feet off the bottom as they mature
Perhaps because I was witnessing a constantly cycling ecosystem that was both wholly beautiful and wholly vicious
Counting the concentric rings and spaces, known as circuli on an individual scale, can also offer a wealth of information regarding age and life cycles at sea and freshwater, something similar to the growth rings on a tree
If you dont put enough backing on a fly reel, then not only does it look strange, but the outer circumference of the spooled line will be smaller, meaning that your retrieve rate will be a lot slower
This feature is particularly noticeable when fighting stronger, faster fish, and makes this reel more capable for offshore and big game use
