Tip
Tip: Use swung flies as a searching tool to cover water bank to bank
How to do it: Swing flies across the full width of a run, especially on unfamiliar water or in high, turbid water, to search for fish
Mistake it fixes: Fishing only known lies with swung flies
Why it works: A swung fly covers a wide swath efficiently. On unfamiliar or turbid water, searching bank to bank finds fish faster than spot fishing.
When it matters most: Steelhead, swung flies
