Stick the Landing -- Tight Line and Euro Nymphing Skills, #3

Part three of this Troutbitten Skills Series focuses on sticking the landing. Because after putting ourselves in great position to present the fly, we shouldn't waste the perfect tuck cast and delivery. As the fly hits the water, all the elements of our system are in position and ready to drift. That's sticking the landing. Like a gymnast who tumbles, somersaults and then lands on two feet with no body movement, the best completion of a cast happens with no extra movement. Instead of landing and then recovering or correcting, we stick the landing, ready to drift. My friend, Austin Dando, joins me on Episode Three for an in-depth discussion of this technique. (Season three will return to my full panel of friends, with longer form discussion about all things fly fishing.)
