Perhaps I was tired after fishing all day but all of a sudden, with every cast, the hook snagged the fly line. I had be switching around leaders and that might have been it too. Any ideas? It was frustrating and caused me to quit fishing. Erika

Ya being tired.
What you had was a version of the tailing loop/casting knots.
What needs to happen (and what you were probably doing before you or your mind got fatigued) is for the rod tip to follow a flat plane and for the rod to accelerate then stop on the front and back casts. The absence of these two actions are not the only possible reason for tailing loops but the most common and most likely.

A quick and dirty fix to that problem might be to change the plane of your cast. Instead of casting directly overhand, try a 3/4 overhand or sidearm approach.
But the REAL fix probably lies in what Rob says... And, yeah, fishing all day can put the odd tailing loop in everybody's line.

Fishing all day clearly is the problem, quite half way, come to my place, and I will go out and finish the day for you. Cheers Ron
