You need to hold the rod in your strong hand while the fly line with the other. In general, the better line control and rhythm you provide, the more accurate your cast is going to be. Most of the time, a poor cast occurs because the fly line is or is becoming entangled. When fly fishing, you could fish using surfaced or sub-surfaced flies. The most commonly used type of surface is the “dry fly”. In dry-fly fishing, the flies used resemble insects that tend to land on the water’s surface, such as a dragonfly or a grasshopper.
