Every aspect of fly fishing in Colorado is essential to earn
those trout. Poor presentation of flies to the fish can ruin everything. Drag
is the number one problem anglers encounter; when determining which fly to use,
make sure you aim for drag-free presentation. If you’re having trouble
eliminating drag, change to a lighter material and consider tying your fly with
a loop knot. Another tip is to match leader length to the situation. For
instance, fishing on still water with small dry flies can call for longer
leader length while fishing streams calls for shorter, making cast heavy flies
easier. Another mistake some anglers make is casting too soon before watching
the fish’s behavior. These and many other tactics affect the presentation of
your flies and influence the success you’ll have fishing for trout.
