Line management is a vital part of getting the ideal drift. After mastering the cast, the next action is handling the slack that is produced by the present as your flies wander downstream. The way in which we do this can increase your success. A smooth and constant shift from the cast to handling line keeps the rod pointer constant, assists you remain tight to the sighter, and in contact with your flies. This contact increases your level of sensitivity (both sight and feel). This permits you to pickup on the most subtle of strikes and extends your drifts, as your flies remain in the strike zone longer.
Practice that cast and concentrate on handling your line and your success as a euro nympher makes sure to increase.
Tight lines!
