Default Newbie questions -- after my 1st season of fishing

One quite simple way of achieving more subtle presentation, is to use
a longer leader, and aim about a foot or so above the water when
casting, so that your line floats down gently, and does not cause any
disturbance.

This requires a little practice, but you can then present even very
heavy lines with considerable subtlety, and more to the point, the
flies.

Regards and tight lines!
