Tip: Learn to read water and target likely holding areas instead of casting randomly
How to do it: Identify holding lies from current, depth, and structure, then cast to those areas
Mistake it fixes: Casting randomly across a river
Why it works: Holding areas are predictable from water features. Targeting them puts the fly where fish actually hold.
When it matters most: River fishing
