The Hook Set and Go - Extra Fish and More Power

I want to show you something good. It’s the hook set and go. I use a ten-inch hook set — fast not far — at the end of every drift. And I use this for all underwater presentations. This is not just about setting the hook. Instead, this simple motion — this quick lift up and over — gets the fly activated. It releases surface tension and gets the fly moving, preparing it for the backcast. It also engrains this important motion into your skill set.
