Tip
Tip: Watch feeding fish before casting and learn their rhythm
How to do it: Observe rise timing, pick one target fish, and make each cast count instead of casting immediately
Mistake it fixes: Casting before studying the fish
Why it works: Rising trout feed on a rhythm. Watching first tells you where the fish holds, how often it rises, and when your fly must arrive.
When it matters most: Dry fly, hatch fishing
