Effective on-water preparation is essential for successful Tarpon fly fishing. Ensure your fly line is thoroughly stretched and correctly stored in your line management device. Set your drag lightly and maintain a well-organized, unobstructed cockpit. Be ready to cast in the "speed cast" position, holding the fly in your non-dominant hand, with the rod in the proper casting position and the fly line secured under your trigger finger.
