Muharski fishing tools are small working tools that solve a specific task of water: cutting a tip, pressing a barb, releasing a hook, tying or supporting the line. This range is different from the tools for tying flies on the workbench. The practical kit is short, one-handed and consistent with the thickness of the materials and the way of fishing.

The nipper should cut the cleanly used tippet without crushing it or leaving a disjointed end. The Kocher or fine forceps serve to press the barb and gently release the fly. Choose a size that gives control over the hooks used, but is not unnecessarily heavy on the vest. A combined tool is only useful if each of its functions remains comfortable with wet or cold fingers. Try locking the forceps beforehand with gloves so as not to press the hook sharply.

The knotting tools, straightening leader and cleaning fly cord have a more special role. They do not repair an inappropriate diameter or damaged line. Follow the directions for the specific material and test on a short section first. On each shift, look for a rubbing end, because a well-tied knot doesn't compensate for a bruised tippet.

Arrange the most commonly used tools on a reliable retractor, tape or a certain pocket. The cutting edge and sharp tips should not hang loosely near the cord. Check the length of the rope, lock and grip place before entering the water. The goal is to get to the tools without searching and without letting the fishing rod in.

After fishing, wipe the moisture, remove dirt and let the metal parts dry before harvesting. Do not use blunted nipers with force and do not pull a deep hook without visibility. The minimum set usually works better than a cluttered connection with duplicate widgets. Replace a rusty, loose or unreliable tool before the next outing.
