No-Fuss Fly Rod Rigging Trick

I learned this a few years ago from a guide in Montana. Saw this today, and though I would share.

Just don't leave your rod like that for very long or it will put a kink in your fly line.

I've been doing that for years. It is a nice tip though.

I saw a bunch of guys doing this on the Kings River the other day. Neat little trick, just be sure it isn't damaging your leader or tippet where it wraps around your reel.
