Tip
Tip: Later in the day, fish a big stonefly on shallow flats or the tailout of a riffle with a twitch
How to do it: Move to shallow flats and riffle tailouts later in the day and twitch a large stonefly to entice an eat where dead drift alone looks random
Mistake it fixes: Ignoring flats and tailouts later in the day
Why it works: Fish stage in shallow, energy-efficient water later in the day. A twitched stonefly there stands out as a large, vulnerable meal.
When it matters most: Stonefly fishing, afternoon
