Tip
Tip: Fish streamers close to banks and structure and strip fast in soft water; in high-density trout water, change fly, colour, or depth if there is no feedback, but in low-density predator water, no move does not prove the fly is wrong, keep covering water
How to do it: Fish streamers tight to banks and structure with fast strips in soft water, changing fly or depth in high-density water when feedback stops, but persisting in low-density predator water
Mistake it fixes: Abandoning a fly in low-density predator water after no feedback
Why it works: In low-density water, no feedback may simply mean no fish encountered the fly. Covering water matters more than constant fly changes there.
When it matters most: Streamer fishing, predators
