Bad luck Kazu-san! I think your reel drag is too high, loosen off so line comes off the reel more easily, let the fish run and tire themselves out. Good luck!
Thank you for your comment. The drag performance is not good because the reel has not been properly maintained. The 3x tippet and #16 fly are unbalanced. The tippet may have hit the trout's mouth and caused the fly to bounce off. Next time I would like to fish in the best condition.
@@kazu-nagomi Oh... faulty drag, not good! Also, may be worth adding a 4X or 5X tippet too. Lamson Litespeed reels are very good value and excellent reels, less than NZ$300.
