Tip
Tip: Use a greased mono leader to suspend the fly longer in the strike zone
How to do it: Grease a mono leader so it suspends a light fly higher in the column longer, rather than letting it sink all the way to the bottom
Mistake it fixes: Letting the fly sink straight to the bottom
Why it works: A suspended fly stays where fish are feeding for longer. Greasing the leader controls sink rate without adding weight to the fly.
When it matters most: Euro nymphing, suspended fish
