Pretty cutts. Seeing the fish come up and grab a dry is a real rush!
Also be sure that you wet your knot as you pull it tight.[/quote]
Did that. I was using a clinch knot, the guy I let fish my spot with me helped me tie a improved clinch knot. He said that was way better for a fly connection to 5x tippet.
I really want to get rid of the sweivel. Too much weight for the dry fly, which made me use a styrafoam indicator on it and they guy told me that spooks most fish out of touching a dry fly.
