Tip
Tip: Point your finger along the rod instead of thumb on top to reduce wrist rotation
How to do it: Grip with the finger along the rod to keep the fly low and accurate and reduce unwanted wrist movement
Mistake it fixes: Gripping with thumb on top and rotating the wrist
Why it works: Wrist rotation throws the fly off line and high. A finger-along grip stabilises the rod and keeps the cast low and accurate.
When it matters most: Euro nymphing, short casts
