Man Fishing

Well, having tried to capture the line in the air and failing, I moved on to catching the man standing in water with a stick - sorry, rod. This is the part were typically in fly fishing the fisherman strips the line. Yes, there are stripping jokes out on the water, but I digress. Stripping the line means that the line is being pulled in one tug at a time at a predetermined speed and a chosen amount of line at a time. The speed and line length to strip-in is dependent on the water speed, wind speed and direction, and size of the fly as far as I can tell.
