The Figure 8 Cast

My Tangled Mess casts typically happen on my 1st cat after tying on a
different fly or rig. I end up wrapping the leader around itself or the
rod and don't notice until after I attempt to cast. I get too impatient
and want to get my fly back in the water in too much of a hurry. I just
need to pay more attention to where my line is when I am done retying.

I'm one of the worst casters when it comes to the "two-fly, dropper" which
is why I avoid
the two-fly rig, there wasn't one time that I haven't tangled, including
current tangle.
Now I take my chances with one fly on the line. Nothing ****es me off more
than losing
two flies in one cast. My friend once rigged up 5 wet flies and lost them
all in one shot, this was after bragging
how good the set-up was. That was $1.75 per fly x 5. I love teasing him
about it, asking when he's going to break that record.
fwiw,
