Tip
Tip: Present the fly straight and remove slack; short frequent practice beats one long session
How to do it: Remove slack from the cast, practise in short frequent sessions, and switch fly weights during practice to learn control
Mistake it fixes: Leaving slack in the cast and practising only in long sessions
Why it works: Slack kills energy transfer and accuracy. Short frequent practice with varied fly weights builds control faster than occasional long practice.
When it matters most: Spey casting
