Start with a stretched line
Always start a cast with rod and fly line in a straight line. Make sure the fly line does not drop down at an angle from tip top eye, and make sure that the fly line is laying straight in front of the rod and has no snakes or S’s. When you pick up the rod, it starts loading immediately. Other fancy casts like roll casts etc. requires something different.

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
