Tip
Tip: Fish big stillwater fish close to the bottom, and fish baitfish imitations at transitions between mud, rock, and weed beds
How to do it: Target bottom-holding fish and fish baitfish patterns where bottom type changes
Mistake it fixes: Fishing mid-water in stillwater regardless of bottom
Why it works: Large stillwater fish often hold near bottom and feed at habitat transitions. Fishing those transitions puts the fly where food concentrates.
When it matters most: Stillwater, lakes
