I've learned so much from Lance and the Cheech about tying flies and how to fish them. The one thing I would like to see them address is exactly how to control the depth of nymphs and emerges in the water column. Leader and tippet setup, weighted/non weighted flies, floatant/ no floatant.

Last set looked like a nice rod set to me!

[@Lanceeganflyfishing]

Definitely was. On the hang. No strip setting when hanging.

Hey Cotton!

[@ZGADOW]

Why use the hand twist retrieve instead of just stripping slowly ?

[@Lanceeganflyfishing]

Did you watch the video? It answers your question at the 5:20 mark. 🙌
