Ok, I know the basics, have an old fly rod setup think it is an 6 weight and can hit a cricket stump from 25 meters. I have a problem though, when ever i practice with a fly it comes off! It doesn't crack like a whip but their are alot of hooks some where in the back yard! Iam pretty keen to have a fish and have made some water spider dries from the chickens after the fox massacre. Why are they breaking off?
