Tip
Tip: In very cold water, let the sink tip touch bottom before parking the fly, then be very patient on the hang-down in deep winter pools
How to do it: In cold water, touch bottom with the tip, park the fly, and wait patiently on the hang-down in deep pools
Mistake it fixes: Rushing the hang-down in cold water
Why it works: Cold fish take slowly. Touching bottom ensures depth, and patience on the hang-down gives a slow fish time to commit.
When it matters most: Steelhead, winter pools
