Aaron and I went to the Rockaway river on Monday night to kill some time fishing dry flies. He ended up showing me how to properly end a cast. He was watching me roll cast when he saw that i was pointing my rod where i wanted the fly to land. I have always been doing that and my leader would a lot of the time land in pile. As soon as he showed me, it was like a light when on. It was pretty cool to finally see my roll casts, and regular cast lay out like they were supposed to. I used have problems on the deleware casting the sulfers and bwo's, so i always fished the isonychia. I can't wait to see if i do better with the dries this year. Five minutes with the right help is all it took. Aaron, maybe you can explain a what I was doing a little better. Its probably something a lot beginners and intermediate fly fishers are doing. It's was cool to finally see, the leader land right.
its funny how many fly fisherman like yourself can do 95 percent of the casting stoke correct but its the last 5 percent that really makes the difference. you knew how to roll cast and false cast very well but dropping that rod make it all unravel. i am sure that you are going to have more success not that you have unlocked the "secret" to making your leader straighten out!! those trout on the big d can feel their mouths starting to hurt already![]()
