Tip
Tip: Track the changing strike zone: wind, pressure, and bug activity shift where fish sit
How to do it: Adjust depth as conditions change: calm days fish may rise, windy or high-pressure days they may hug the bottom
Mistake it fixes: Fishing a fixed depth all day
Why it works: The strike zone is not fixed. Wind, pressure, and insect activity move fish up or down the column, so depth must follow them.
When it matters most: Nymph fishing
