Jim Kelly – my brother! Glad to see you’re posting here !!!!!!

Ray - my yellow lab Rosie used to make that same expression your nephews dog has on his face, After sniffing a fish. My son calls it the fish “buffle”.....

Helllo folks, thanks for your welcomes. I will not be known on here. I live in Scotland and use "Bobfly " since I usually fish two flies on the cast on hill lochs and most of the wild browns come to the bobfly! I usually use soft hackled flies and/or dries. Hello bobfly , and welcome to the forum!!...

I use the same mono, as well as other brands and colors. Try dipping a piece in Boiling hot water, you can stretch it, flatten it, etc.
