How to Put Slack in Your Fly Line

What does it mean...how to put slack in your fly line?


Slack line presentations are commonly used to minimize drag on the fly while fishing in complex currents. As long as there is slack in the line or leader or both, the fly will drift naturally in the current. Slack can be produced either by a cast, such as the Pile Cast, or by an aerial mend, such as the Wiggle Mend.
