How do you curb drag when dry fly fishing?

Christian Bacasa's approach is to eliminate as much drag as possible rather than accept it. This Insider Tips episode is short and focused on the drag problem itself, so the advice comes as direct fixes.

Why does drag matter to dry fly anglers?

Drag pulls a dry fly across the current instead of letting it float freely. Christian Bacasa built this Insider Tips episode around eliminating as much of that drag as possible while dry fly fishing.

Key takeaways

  • The goal is eliminating as much drag as possible, not just reducing it.
  • Christian Bacasa covers drag in the short Insider Tips format.
