Tip
Tip: Adjust fly size to season and local conditions; a core list works broadly, but size may need changing
How to do it: Start with a core list, then adjust size for season and local water
Mistake it fixes: Using the same fly size in all seasons and waters
Why it works: A core list gives pattern coverage, but size must match local food and conditions. Seasonal size adjustment keeps the core list effective.
When it matters most: Trout fishing
