Tip
Tip: Start with a dry fly to save the fish's curiosity, then hitch, then wet
How to do it: Sequence presentations from dry to hitch to wet, because large wet flies burn curiosity fast
Mistake it fixes: Starting with a large wet fly
Why it works: Salmon have limited interest. Starting subtle preserves curiosity for later presentations, giving more chances in one lie.
When it matters most: Salmon fishing
