Fly Fishing | What to do with a Running Fish

Tip #4: What to do with a Running Fish
Be prepared if a fish runs toward you. Stand on your toes and at the same time raise your fishing rod up over your head as high as you can. Take the line and put it back over onto your second and third fingers of the hand that is holding the rod. Quickly strip the line to pull up on any slack.

If the fish starts to run away from you make sure that you keep the fishing rod up high and slowly let out the line, letting it slide from your fingers. Be ready to palm the reel of the rod when the slack is entirely gone.
