Tip
Tip: Adjust fly shade by season: darker green in spring, more yellow in summer, red and black tones in fall
How to do it: Shift fly colours with the season to match changing insect and water tones
Mistake it fixes: Using the same fly shade all season
Why it works: Insect colour and water tone change through the season. Seasonal shading keeps the fly looking like current food.
When it matters most: Seasonal fishing
