Tip
Tip: Choose a line that can reach mid-river fish and balance the cast
How to do it: Select a line with enough length and balance to reach fish holding mid-river, rather than a short heavy line that falls short
Mistake it fixes: Using a short heavy line that cannot reach the fish
Why it works: A line that falls short never presents to the target. Reach and balance matter more than sheer weight for mid-river presentations.
When it matters most: River fishing
