Why does my fly line tangle?
As a fly angler, you're constantly removing the line from your spool as you cast and fight fish. If it isn't spooled correctly, you'll see your line getting tangled on a regular basis. To create a tight spool, be sure to have tension on the line as you reel it on top of your backing.

How do you tell the end of a fly line?
Every fly line has a front end and a back end. The front end - called the head - is thicker and provides the weighted part for you to cast, while the back end - called the running line - is thinner and has little weight. It's the thin running line you attach to the backing, not the thicker head section.12 Jan 2019
