How do I attach the fly to my leader?

Troubleshooting

Fly not attracting fish.

Try different retrieve speeds and depths. Experiment with different leader lengths and fly line types. Ensure you are fishing in an area known for salmon activity.

Fly getting snagged.

Adjust your casting angle to avoid obstacles. Use a sinking fly line to keep the fly closer to the bottom, where snags are more common. Check your tippet for any damage that may have weakened it.
