F.A.Q's
	Q: What does LeaderCalc have that the PDF files don't? A: LeaderCalc can generate leader combinations from 05X-8X and lengths from 4' (1.2m) to 17' (5.2m) in 1/2 foot (.15m) increments. LC can generate more customized leader package labels and allows for your own custom leader sleeve notes. LCr3 also provides detailed information on 19 of the most popular monofiliaments. All-in-all, LCr3 can generate over 1,500 different formula combinations whereas you get only 300 in LC-QwikCalc!. Q: Is LeaderCalc free? And how about the PDF files? A: Absolutely yes...forever. It took over 2 years of R&D to collect the formulas and develop the LC formula generation engine...all for you to enjoy a the click of a mouse button! Q: Is LeaderCalc Open Source? A: Absolutely no...forever! That's our secret how we developed the formula generation engine and how we store the formulas in our custom database...but if you're an Excel whiz, you could probably replicate it. It will take you some time, though; It took us several months of programming alone. Q: What if I have problems with LeaderCalc on Excel or with the PDF files? A:Go to the FishBetter forum and post your question. Support will be limited to functionality of LeaderCalc alone. We avoid supporting MS-Excel and Adobe Acrobat; we just aren't good techie help-desk types! See Microsoft's site (Excel) and Adobe's site (Acrobat Reader) for support and proper usage on these packages.

A few random articles for your entertainment Streamer Flies for Trophy Trout Kelly Galloup, author of "Modern Streamers for Trophy Trout", brings us a new DVD where he ties some of the flies from his book. With each fly, Kelly takes the time to explain the materials and techniques used to construct the fly, and we see every step along the way. December 1st 2006 Boot Blues GFF partner Martin Joergensen has owned quite a few wading boots in his time. None of them fit his bill for a perfect pair. Actually most of them fell apart and were trashed within a few seasons. His hunt for a perfect pair continues. June 16th 2005 Small Fry: The Lure of the Little "Did you get a brownie?" The voice the author heard was young; a girl’s voice that floated gracefully over the soft, almost melodic, water tumble of the creek. He was releasing a small brown trout that had patiently watched his patterns float by for close to half an hour. October 20th 2008 Martīs Bibio A nice thing about this Bibio is that it's versatile. Play with it, use lighter of heavier hooks, fish it with or without floatant, wrap a thinner or denser hackle, and so on. But make sure you have some Bibios in your flybox spring suddenly is here.
