Fairly new to fly fishing.
Thanks been doing that catching
Blue gills & some small bass
If you find that upstream casting and mending line and avoiding tangles in your slack line are too much to deal with when starting out, just tie on a wooly bugger and cast across and slightly downstream. Then let the current take it down and swing across and downstream of you. When the line is tight, let it dangle in the current a few moments, and then a couple of short strips upstream before casting again.
Such a fun way to fish!
Is there an "Un-fun" way to fish?
