  2. Leader and Tippet: Use a tippet size appropriate for the size of the fly and the expected size of the fish. Generally, a tippet between 4X and 6X is suitable.
  3. Casting: Cast upstream or across the current to allow the fly to drift naturally.

  5. Care: After use, rinse the fly with fresh water and allow it to dry to prevent corrosion and maintain its appearance. Store your flies in a fly box away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
