Tip
Tip: Use a floating line so the line end stays visible; make leader and tippet about 2 feet longer than the water depth to track fly position
How to do it: Fish a floating line for visibility, with leader and tippet about 2 feet longer than depth to track the fly
Mistake it fixes: Using a sinking line that hides fly position for carp
Why it works: A visible floating line end helps track fly position relative to the fish. Extra leader length keeps the fly at the right depth.
When it matters most: Carp fishing, leaders
