Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Leader: Use a leader that matches the water clarity and expected depth of the fish. Fluorocarbon leaders are a good choice due to their low visibility.
- Knot: Tie the fly securely to the leader using a reliable knot such as a clinch knot or a loop knot for more action.
- Retrieval: Experiment with different retrieve speeds, from a slow, steady retrieve to short strips. Observe how the fish react.
- Storage: After use, rinse the fly with fresh water and allow it to dry before storing it in a fly box. This helps prevent rust and maintains the fly's condition.
