Hi Alex, what floatant are you using, many need to dry after application,
often achieved by deliberate false casting. HTH, Nig, Edinburgh, Scotland

Have dabbled with a bit of fly fishing this month,
I have been having trouble getting the fly to float.
I am using a 7# floating line,this floats perfectly. I dip the fly into
some
floatant but on more occasions than not, it sinks.
Do I need to treat the leader or is it down to technique, as on several
occasions when IMO I got the cast perfect it did float.

Alex.
