Tip
Tip: Concentrate on hidden structure shown by surface changes, current-speed changes, and small disturbances
How to do it: Look for surface and current clues that reveal hidden structure, rather than blind-casting broad water
Mistake it fixes: Blind-casting broad water
Why it works: Hidden structure is revealed by water clues. Fishing those clues puts the fly where fish hold, rather than in empty water.
When it matters most: Steelhead, rivers
