Tip
Tip: Cast longer, not just short and safe, so the fly can sink and drift naturally
How to do it: Use longer casts where appropriate so the fly has time to sink to depth and drift naturally to the fish
Mistake it fixes: Casting short and safe
Why it works: A short cast may not give the fly time to reach depth or establish a natural drift before it passes the fish.
When it matters most: Nymph fishing, rivers
