Tip
Tip: Trigger defensive strikes with erratic pauses, not just feeding
How to do it: Use stalls and erratic movement to irritate a territorial fish into striking to expel the intruder
Mistake it fixes: Thinking trout eat streamers only because they are hungry
Why it works: Many streamer eats are territorial, not feeding. A pause that looks like an intruder lingering in a lie provokes a defensive attack.
When it matters most: Streamer fishing, territorial trout
