    different length leader?
    different hooks?
    have you changed your casting style?
    new line - if your line is not turning the fly over then the line might be the problem.

    Have someone watch you cast.

    The 'emerger style' I am not sure what would be causing that if you are using the same flies and floatants. Emergers are not all that bad to fish sometimes.

    As for being upside down, that is very common, happens all the time. I just give a little twitch of the rod and the fly flops over to the correct side.

    I haven't changed my style, but I've always had faster action rods. Midway through the summer I got a shorter, softer rod for the small creeks. I don't throw nearly as tight or fast of a loop with it, so maybe that's it - it at least rung a bell to watch for it.

    Thanks!

    Larry - thanks for the tip about flipping a fly.
