Tip
Tip: Let presentation direction beat pattern for salmon
How to do it: Prioritise angle and movement direction over perfect pattern, because a mediocre fly presented correctly beats a perfect fly swung wrong
Mistake it fixes: Prioritising perfect pattern over presentation direction
Why it works: Salmon react to movement first. Angle is the top trigger, so direction and speed matter more than exact imitation.
When it matters most: Salmon fishing
