Brilliant I say." I did think of one other little piece of advice. When stripping your fly, lower your rod tip into the water. This dampens the wobbling rod tip and minimizes line slack. If your rod tip is above the water, your fly line will droop resulting in slack line between your stripping hand and your fly. This is bad for two reasons. One, when you attempt to make your next strip, you have to remove that slack before the fly will move. That means your fly won't be moving as much as you think it is. Second, if a tarpon suddenly pounces on your fly, you have to remove that slack before you solidly set the hook. Most of the time in fly fishing, slack isn't good. So keep your rod tip in the water while stripping your fly.Doug Jeffrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06964780711233647604noreply@blogger.com
