Sorry for the slow reply. I'm guiding everyday in Colorado. I do use a stripping basket, it is a pain but if you need it and don't have it it is a real pain.

I am new to fly fishing. Have done a bit of searching for articles. Best explanation of Stripping I have heard to this point. Not only how to, but why you strip line.
Thanks

How useful do you think a stripping basket is? I was thinking of making one myself since I saw a pretty nice video on how to do that on here, but I'd only do it if it's worth the trouble. My brother and I are going to tour through Sweden and Norway this summer. We'll be doing a lot of wild camping and hiking so a stripping basket may on the one hand be useful for these rougher areas with lot's of weeds and stuff, but on the other hand it would be extra weight to carry. Any tips? Small basket? :D
