Hey All, Been lurking here for a week or so and this is my 1st post from Harrisburg.
I'm starting to fly fish again after a 33 yr absence (never replaced my gear after my brothers chopped it up with a brush hog when I was 17 yrs old.....yep, brothers) I'll be fishing Clarks, Stoney, Breeches and maybe the Pine Creek-Slate Run area and would like opinions on what tools I'll need to do the job so to speak.
I'm talking forceps? straight, curved, long, short?
I've seen pliers from $5 to $300 with assorted shaped jaws.
Clippers, knot tyers etc etc.
Also seem to be many more sizes and shapes of nets than there used to be.
I started when I was 12 yrs old in 1969 and it didn't seem that complicated back then. Thanks for any and all of your advice and opinions. Mick
