Fly-Fishing Techniques
Dry Fly, Dead Drift
Cast your dry fly well upstream of a rising fish and let it
drift with the current. Usually, as the fly moves downstream
it is necessary to strip in excess line to keep line slack at
a minimum. When a fish rises to the fly, set the hook
immediately, and keep tension on the fish throughout the
fight.
