This is going to sound like a smart ass, but I'm really being serious here.
Don't put so much effort into seeing your fly. Learn to "sense" raises and strikes. While seeing your fly is an advantage it is not necessary to catching fish. As LS can attest I catch most of my fish long after people who are trying to see their fly have headed home. The key is to learn to anticipate where your fly is and you'll find that you start picking up fish when you least expect it from small subtle changes changes that you pick up on the water. At times you may find yourself simply setting the hoomk on an unatrual sound.
