Rod and Reel Maintenance Suggestions from a Fly Fishing Guide

This is the time of year that fly fishers tend to have some time on our hands.  Between the cold and the slow fishing, we are more cooped up than we would prefer.  If you are a tyer, that can keep you busy but eventually the boxes get full.  If you're not a tyer, you can only watch so many fly fishing videos.  No matter who you are, if you are looking to keep your mind busy and your hands full while also being productive, you can consider doing a little maintenance on your fly fishing equipment. 

I try to do this every year but sometimes I'm guilty of two things.  One, I don't know where to start and two, I don't know what to do.  You can read plenty of conflicting ideas and suggestions online, but who should you listen to and trust?  Personally, I would trust a guide.  Even better, I would trust a guide that I know.  Luckily for all of us, Ryan Walker (smallmouth fishing guide out of southern Missouri) has some good advice and tips for cleaning rods, reels, and fly line.  There are visual aids to accompany the concise information which will make for a quick and useful read.  Just think how clean and shiny your equipment will look and how good it will feel on your next outing!
