>>1276111what.
you're line is literally exposed PERIOD. doesn't matter the size of your tippet, or it being in the water or not.
the knot, and the tippet, however small is visible in ANY presentation. period.
next thing you're going to say is that they make wireless (line-less) fly rods.
fish can see out of water, they mostly ignore tippet and knots out of excitement. The only fish I've seen ignore a size 23 inch shrimp on a fucking 10x tippet is in the Taylor River, and that was only because they were so well trained and used to people fishing them. You can hold the line out of the water but fish still see it, if your line is in the water, above the water, on top of the water they still see that shit.
>>1276115exactly.
>>1276117this is funny. hipster faggots only fly fish in western states. old dudes do it in new england and the occasional poorfag that finds their grandpa's rod in new england. can't talk for the rest of the world.
