Tip
Tip: Layer flash in different tones and blends rather than one heavy flash; thin blended flash still reflects light without shutting fish down
How to do it: Blend flash in varied tones and layers, avoiding one heavy flash that can spook fish
Mistake it fixes: Using one heavy flash layer in streamers
Why it works: Blended flash reflects light naturally without overwhelming the fly. Heavy flash can look unnatural and shut fish down.
When it matters most: Streamer tying, flash
