Tip: Fish surface prey in mid-river and deep water too, not only near banks
How to do it: Present surface flies in mid-river and deep water where prey vulnerability matters, not only where prey should be near banks
Mistake it fixes: Fishing surface flies only near banks
Why it works: Prey vulnerability and opportunity matter more than textbook location. Fish will take surface prey wherever it looks vulnerable, including mid-river.
When it matters most: Night surface fishing
