Tip
Tip: Maintain line tension to control swing speed and depth
How to do it: Use line control to keep tension through the swing, keeping the fly at the correct speed and depth
Mistake it fixes: Letting tension go slack during the swing
Why it works: Tension is the control system for a swung fly. Without it, speed and depth wander and the fly leaves the strike zone.
When it matters most: King salmon, swung flies
