Tip
Tip: On bright sunny days, use a bright-belly attractor that skates well and twitch it to trigger shy fish
How to do it: Fish a bright, skatable attractor on sunny days and add a twitch to trigger a fish that will not eat a dead drift
Mistake it fixes: Dead-drifting only on bright days
Why it works: On bright days fish see flies clearly and may need movement to commit. A skate and twitch imitates a struggling insect on the surface.
When it matters most: Dry fly, sunny conditions
