Tip
Tip: Use a two-handed rod and a grease-line approach: lead the fly so it swings broadside and stays down, without constant mending
How to do it: With a two-handed rod, use a grease-line approach, leading the fly broadside and down without constant mending
Mistake it fixes: Mending constantly to control a swung fly
Why it works: Grease-line presentation keeps the fly broadside and down naturally, without mend-induced drag.
When it matters most: Steelhead, grease-line
