Fly Fishing products recommended by Bill Byrd

Protect your stripping finger

I have the opportunity to use and fish many products. I have fished with Gary Peterson's stripping finger guards for over 10 years. Before I used them, I had cuts on my stripping finger, and constant trouble in the crease of the first joint of that finger.

Amazingly I have had fly fishers laugh and tell me that they just develop caluses on their stripping fingers. I had one guy tell me "to be a man", some fishers wrap cumbersome tape over their fingers, but as many hours as I spend stripping fly line over my right stripping finger, I don't fish without stripping guards from Gary Peterson.

The lycra covers will protect my stripping finger from fine fly lines -- 3/0 to 1 weight which can cut the crease in my stripping finger tip joint if a strong fish runs.

The lycra finger cover will allow me to make a smooth, easy strip, protects the joint of my stripping finger, and actually helps clean residue off my fly line as I fish. I use the same cover over and over, and can fish as many as ten or fifteen trips on one stripping guard. For full info on Gary Peterson stripping guards click on Stripping Guards.com.

I will NOT feature any products on my website that I don't own, use, and believe in! In other words -- my recommendation is not for sale!... Bill Byrd.
