Improving Your Short Game - Mountain Fishing Property
Flyfishing, like golf, has a both a long game and a short game. While nearly everyone likes to uncork a 70-foot cast from time to time, doing so all the time won't catch many fish. Even Tiger Woods wouldn't win many tournaments if he were always using his driver.

For many flyfishers, winter is the season in which the flyrod is placed on the rack and the tying vise comes out of the closet.
