Tips from the Pros

Tips for Beginners: Mending

Mending is the term used for line control once your fly is on the water. The purpose of this technique is to create a drag free drift – a natural imitation.

Similar to casting, mending is another skill that is best taught first hand. Every drift demands different mends, and mending is not limited to nymphing. The better you are at mending, the longer and more effective your drifts will be.
