Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. What is it called when you keep the fly line in the air by casting?
2. By lifting the rod tip high and slightly behind you, then snapping it forward and down, the fly line will unwind across the top of the water. What is this kind of casting called?
3. When the fly line is being picked up off the water and whizzing behind you loading the rod for your power stroke (forward cast), what is this part of the cast called?
4. When fishing fast moving water, you will still want your fly to float natural on the water (without drag). When you cast to a fish in current, you must keep adjusting the line by flipping the fly line up-stream to get a drag free float. What is this adjusting called?
5. Once you cast your fly line out straight, just before the line settles on the water, you put your rod tip to the side (usually upstream), what is this casting called?
6. There is a large trout on the other side of a boulder in a river about 12 yards in front of you, and no way to get closer without spooking it. What cast should you use to fish for this trout?
7. When fishing a weighted fly, sometimes the leader will not straighten out. When a standard tapered leader will not do, what should you use to help turn over those heavy flies?
8. If a fly rod is made to use a 5-weight line, it could cast a 4 and 6 weight line too?
9. What is the purpose of double hauling?
10. Sometimes the fly must have drag on it to look right in the water. If you are fishing a minnow pattern, you would want it to look alive. What do you do to the fly line to make minnow patterns seem real?
