Tip
Tip: Adjust micro-streamer fishing to water temperature: above about 48F fish are more active, colder means slower and heavier
How to do it: Fish more actively above that temperature threshold, and use slower flows and heavier flies when colder
Mistake it fixes: Fishing the same pace regardless of temperature
Why it works: Temperature drives metabolism and activity. Cold fish move less and need a slower, deeper presentation; warm fish chase more actively.
When it matters most: Streamer fishing, seasonal
