See our <a href=\"https:\/\/windriverflyworks.com\/staging\/how-to-dry-fly-fish\/\">dry fly fishing guide<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>No rises?<\/strong> That&#8217;s most days.

Stay low, wade slowly, and wear muted colors.<\/li><li><strong>Cast upstream and across.<\/strong> Fish face into the current, so coming from below and behind keeps you out of their view. Land the fly a few feet upstream of where you think the fish is.<\/li><li><strong>Start short.<\/strong> Fish the water closest to you first, then work farther out.

Real bugs don&#8217;t do that, and trout know it. Drag is the most common reason a fly gets refused.<\/p><ul><li><strong>Mend your line.<\/strong> Right after the fly lands, flip the line upstream with a small roll of the rod tip so the current doesn&#8217;t belly it downstream.<\/li><li><strong>Keep line off the water.<\/strong> Hold the rod tip up and keep as little line on the water as you can, especially across fast current.<\/li><li><strong>Use the right tippet.<\/strong> Finer, longer tippet lets the fly move more naturally. See our <a href=\"https:\/\/windriverflyworks.com\/staging\/fly-fishing-leader-and-tippet-setup\/\">leader and tippet guide<\/a>.<\/li><li><strong>Get deep enough.<\/strong> When nymphing, your fly should tick the bottom now and then.
