William asks…
Why are some of my feathers on my flies coming off fly fishing?
I just started fly fishing two days ago and some of my flies are getting ruined when i cast can you tell me why?
Joy answers:
Well everyone here has offered wonderful advice but no one mentioned your cast. If your letting the fly drop too far in the back cast you may be beating them to pieces on the ground behind you. You can use a piece of yarn to improve your casting practice and ask someone with knowledge ti judge your casting technique from a distance (always wear eye protection!). Check your for ‘wind-knots’ and make sure your tippet is the correct length for the weight of fly your tossing. All these things and more can contribute to your cast. Pick up a good book that gives detail on what to look for. There are plenty of used books on EBAY.
