Tip
Tip: Cast nearly parallel to the shore or rock edge, not straight out, because fish cruise very shallow along the edge
How to do it: Cast along the shore, parallel to the rock edge, where fish cruise shallow
Mistake it fixes: Casting straight out from shore
Why it works: Fish cruise parallel to the edge in very shallow water. A parallel cast keeps the fly in their path longer than a straight-out cast.
When it matters most: Large lake fishing
