Freshwater Fly

Freshwater Fly
Fly Fishing Questions... Please help me out!?

A.) How should I tie the knot to the fly? I did it the way I tie my knots to my lures when freshwater fishing, but it makes the fly sit on its side or upside down. (Which I imagine wont be attractive to the fish.)

B.) How long should I let a fly sit before recasting it?

C.) Once casted how far away should the fly be from the yellow line in order to not spook the fish, and still make the presentation attractive to them?

D.) I can only seem to cast the fly about 20-25 feet. Is that about normal?

Answers to any or all of these questions would be greatly appreciated. Please dont answer my questions with questions.

THANKS A BUNCH! 10 points best answer

A half blood knot is what i always use to attach my flies, but this can work(its good for fluorocarbon line too)

B.I assume your fishing a dry if you say let it sit, well with lots of gink to keep it afloat cast it and leave it as long as possible, the occasional twitch of the fly line can help, if its nymphs they must also be fished slow let them drift with the current and if needed bring them back with a slow figure of eight retrieve. If you see a fish rise, bring your fl back in and cast about four feet infront of it, this is when good casting is needed.
D.Casting can be hard but once mastered it can be very useful, you should be able to catch on a stocked lake with that kind of cast but a little more distance would be better, the only way to do that is to practice, also make sure your using a WF line and a medium to fast action rod

*C* you need a leader length of about 12 feet, this will stop the fish being spooked,a tapered leader will help to present your dry flies better

Fish one fly at a time, its better to fish one fly properly than three flies incorrectly. When your tapered leader becomes short add a length of tippet to increase its length, this can be fluorocarbon or copolymer, dont use fluorocarbon with dry flies as it will pull them under.

Read through this and you will get lots of info, dont let the name stop you it is fly fishing

The retractor or crank handle may have one or two buttons, both work equally well for reducing friction in line as they recover with little or no grumbling.
