Tip
Tip: Get the streamer into the lower third of the water column
How to do it: Match sink tip and depth to the structure before retrieving, so the fly fishes where large fish hold
Mistake it fixes: Fishing too light and too high in the column
Why it works: A fly above the holding zone is effectively invisible to a fish holding deep. Depth control puts the fly in front of the fish.
When it matters most: Streamer fishing, deep structure
