Line-twist is a real pain, but it is easy to get rid of if you are on a boat or have a river nearby. But if you are on land it can be really difficult to get rid of. But I have just stumbled across a method that works well on land – go here.
Another excellent article from midcurrent.com covering the art of mending a fly-line to ensure flies are placed in front of fish.
The article makes a point that I enthusiastically agree with, learning to cast does not mean that you have learned how to fly-fish. Until an angler learns how to mend a line, the best casting technique in the world will be of little use.
The article is not just a worthwhile read for a novice, old fishing farts like me willl learn something too.
