I'm going to say my experience 100% matches the Deneki article points. And quite honestly I don't leave fluorocarbon leader behind when I leave. I don't fish more than 1 fly and the very rare break offs I have are always at the knot to the fly. The other article was written by a Kiwi. NZ trout are a totally exotic species. Having little in the way of natural predators in streams their behavior is markedly different from trout in the native range of trout. I wouldn't generalize his observations of fish (he's mainly talking about trout) to fishing outside the southern hemisphere.
