Add some of your own tricks of the trade to make life a bit easier when fly fishing. Here's a few.
Is it a headache trying to thread the end of your tippet through the eyes of rod? Pull out enough line to get 10-15ft of fly line, double over the fly line and thread it through that way.
Don't know how much backing to put on a new reel? Put on the fly line first, then the backing to see how much room is left. Then take it off and put it on the correct way.
No loop on your fly line? Nail knot a short piece of heavy mono to the fly line and put a perfection loop on the other end.
Drop a fly in the grass? Use your net magnet to find it.
Got flies stuck in a tree? Put on your polarized sunglasses for eye protection so you don't end up looking like Bruno's old avitar.
