Erasing Fly Line Memory
submitted by Kirk Mathew
Help your fly line "forget". All fly lines have "memory" - something most often seen in the form of coils when line is first stripped from a reel, especially stiffer lines made for warmer weather and distance casting. Taking the time to stretch your line in your hands after pulling it off of the reel will improve your casting distance and make it less likely that the loops of your fly line will tangle in the water or the bottom of the boat.
