Tip
Tip: Start heavy, find the bottom first, then reduce weight and work upward
How to do it: Begin with enough weight to find bottom, then lighten and work up through the water column
Mistake it fixes: Starting too shallow
Why it works: Starting heavy establishes the bottom reference. Working upward from there finds the exact depth where fish are feeding, rather than guessing shallow.
When it matters most: Nymph fishing
