Catch of the day [Fishing]

@mmerkle I gotta get on the fly, its my first year fishing, but I know where this is heading haha. Seems like everyone around here floats for steelhead around the city and then further out like up in Squamish its pretty fly dominant.
So far my favorite way to catch fish I have learned is twitching a jig, feels so great when you pull up your rod and its suddenly way heavier and chaos breaks loose

Any tips for “just casting the leader”. I’ve got a short fish stick for tight streams, but often my leader is trying to find its way back into the guides (with the weight of the fly line pulling it down). Any hot tips to keep this from happening? Maybe something other than “use a shorter leader?” lol. Maybe there’s no trick and I already know the answer…I just don’t like it.

Ya know, when I think of it, it’s when I’m messing around that it happens (rod tip up and distracted). I’m thinking my first thing to try is to more actively manage my slack between casts and hold the leader on the water downstream or in hand as well. Thanks for getting me thinking…

Landed this bull redfish on the fly down on the Louisiana bayou over my Christmas vacation. One of the highlights of my fishing career!

That's do it

Nice to have friends that have neighbors with peacocks…can’t wait to tie some flys up! Can immediately tell the difference between this and anything I’ve seen off the shelf. Wild. Waaay more shine. Now…who’s got pheasants…
