1.   Bullwhips operate under the same principle as the fly line.

2.   Casting the heavy sink-tip fly line was a chore in the face of a stiff wind.

3.   In fact, I hardly even noticed when my fly line jumped slightly and headed upriver.

4.   Just keep it clean and away from insect repellent, which devours fly line and leaders.

5.   Nothing like that had ever graced the end of my fly line.

6.   On my third cast, I snagged bottom and was jerking on the fly line when it flew out of my hand.

7.   Remove all line slack by stripping with the fly line between your index finger and cork grip.

9.   The key is to allow the fly to drift without any unnatural drag created by the fly line being pulled by the current.

10.   The regular anglers wear clothes in dull earth tones, and Rohrbach suggested that a dull-colored fly line would be a good idea.
