"Immediately you become aware of a fish, drop the point of the rod, let go of any loose line in your hand, pull off more line from the reel, step forward - do in short everything that will help create a big belly in the line well downstream of the fish. When all this is done you may now strike or not as the fancy pleases you. It will make no difference, for by now the fish is hooked!"

Richard Waddington, Fly Fishing for Salmon, 1951
