Tight lines… not just for the stream
Posted in
Always keep a little pressure on the line. That’s what my fishing mentor always taught me (and reminds me to this day). Once you’ve got that fish on, never let the line go completely slack. And don’t make any sudden moves. Just a steady pressure will do the job. Keep that steady, constant pressure [ READ MORE... ]
