That is fine…5x tippet will hold a big fish i suggest using 6x unless you are fishing larger streams where a fish may have room to run….that bigger tippet like 5x will help you turn a fish. But if you are fishing smaller streams 6x will turn just about anything.

The quality of the fly is a big issue with how much it can be use IE you get what you pay for. Use GINK or FROG FANNY to help with keeping your fly on the surface. Give it a few more false casts to dry it off. A small fly on large tippet or leader don’t mix well.

i have a question about dries
every time a take a week trip i throw alot of dries
ofcourse they get wet and i have to dry them off
i have that dry fly spray and i use it
the next day i use the same fly, it feels dry but it sinks on the first drift
why?

He was fishing a BIG cicada fly…that required drying….plus there were multiple fish and he was gaging his distance.

It just depends… Sometimes you gotta get it just right, or it is the lazy to dry your fly….

do u really need 4 false cast at 40 seconds?
2 or 3 should be enough
