We frequently become aware of fishing pole being more precise than ever previously, and while that’s partially real, has it equated to anglers who are more precise? And not simply precise with our fly positioning, however likewise where the fly line lands?
That’s the concern Dom Swentosky asks in his most recent article at Troutbitten, and it’s one I believe deserves answering. As Dom composes, the objective for each angler ought to be improving their drift till the fish lastly consumes their flies.
” Difficulty is, if the landing point for that fly is a couple of inches off each time, then the modifications essential are various, and an entire brand-new set of variables are presented,” he states.
That gets back at more intricate when you include the variables of fly line landing where it should not. Bad line management is among the greatest killers of drifts I saw in my assisting days, and as Dom observes, “We’re not sending out simply something to a target (the fly), we’re casting and placing the connected line and leader in an effort to enhance a dead drift or to establish for removing or swinging banners or damp flies.”
This is an aptly-titled gut look for precision for a number of us, and I reckon it deserves your time to check out the entire story Dom composed. You can do so here.
