  1. I have been trying the swinging method the last few days and it has been the most sucessful for me using soft hackles, however I have been getting broken off pretty regularly by big fish. I am using 8lb test so I don't think it's a matter of that. Are you not supposed to strike at the take and just let the fish hook itself? I have been trying that too, but the excitment of how hard the fish nail the fly on the swing leads me to striking and busting off. Also should your rod be pointing downstream when you are nearing the end of the swing, and if so should you instantly bring your rod back to apply side pressure when a fish hits? thanks...
