Tip
Tip: Use a larger, more aggressive presentation, a 2.5 to 4 inch fly swiped across the face or dropped on mudding fish, rather than a small pattern dragged along the bottom
How to do it: Present a larger fly aggressively, swiped across the face or dropped on mudding fish, instead of dragging a small pattern on the bottom
Mistake it fixes: Dragging small patterns along the bottom for carp
Why it works: Large, aggressive presentations trigger carp reaction strikes. Small bottom-dragged patterns are often ignored.
When it matters most: Carp fishing, presentation
