Tip
Tip: Find the cold layer with temperature and sonar clues
How to do it: Use sonar temperature readings to locate where surface warming ends and cold water begins, and fish that layer
Mistake it fixes: Guessing depth without temperature clues
Why it works: Fish hold at the cold-water boundary. Temperature data replaces guessing and puts the fly in the layer fish actually occupy.
When it matters most: Stillwater, summer
