In the early summer, the performance of your fly line can deteriorate due to dirt or residue build up on the line.  Dirt can get on the line if you are stripping from shore or when you are handling the trout.  Algae is  found in all waters and it is a culprit that can cling to the fly line causing poor performance as well. You may notice the trout fishing fly line is not floating as well as it once did and so it is time to clean the line. 

I just came across an interesting article by my friend Jim Casada who, as it turns out, is just as comfortable fishing in the urban waters of North Carolina as he is fishing in the waters of the North Carolina Mountains.  Jim has written an article entitled “North Carolina’s Urban Trout Fishing” which was published in “north Carolina Game and Fish” and can be found here. Jim found fishing in Maggie Valley, Bryson City, Andrews, Robbinsville, and Waynesville.  Here is a quote from Jim to give a heads up on his techniques.
