FishinCricket Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 I watched a guy at Bennett doing this.. He didn't ever put the fish on the reel, he just put the reel n his armpit and bunched the fly line up in his hands.. Now I wish I had gotten his name or info.. Good luck, hope someone with experience comes along and answers that for you... cricket.c21.com

This should help pick up some slack after casting. There's a fine line between fishing and sitting there looking stupid.
