Tip
Tip: Strip all the way in, then hang the fly; do not pick up early
How to do it: Strip the fly right to the rod tip and hang it there, because large trout often eat within 2 feet of the tip
Mistake it fixes: Stopping fishing at the boat
Why it works: The end of the retrieve is still a strike zone. Picking up early removes the fly just as a following fish commits.
When it matters most: Streamer fishing
