Riverside -- Twelve Small Stream Fly Casting Tips
Here are twelve tips for delivering a fly into waters that are heavily canopied, with greedy branches, ready to grab your fly and make life difficult. The best small stream fishing happens in these places. We call it brush fishing.
Learning to cast a fly on small streams forces an angler into proper form. There is no forgiveness, and every error comes with consequences.
But the reward is there. Small streams demand real accuracy. We learn to punch the fly under limbs and around tree stumps. And we learn to finish the cast with intentional placement of the leader, most often with slack, sometimes laying the line over a log, rock or gravel bar.
Small stream trout are often forgiving, but the environments are not. The brush demands our full attention and excellent form.
