>>2415489>I bought a few flies>damn they're kinda expensiveYeah it's easy to spend more on flies than a premium fly line
As for fly techniques there's only really 3
>dead drifting>swinging>strippingDead drifting is nymphing and dry flies, getting a drag free drift. This is done with a combination of striping, mending, and feeding black out.
Swinging is when you let the current take your fly and it pulls through the current to animate the fly. There are dry flies that skate the surface like screaming banshees, and bomber flies, but it's most common with soft hackles, wet flies, and streamers.
>strippingThat's exactly what it sounds like, cast out and strip the fly back. That's the most common way to fish streamers, but it also works with wet flies, and is your only option in still water.
Glad to hear you got on the water and took the fly pill though. Got any pics?
