Tip
Tip: Know your water: fish the same spots repeatedly and note the river flow where fish were caught; target holding fish rather than moving fish
How to do it: Learn water by fishing the same spots repeatedly, recording flows where fish were caught, and targeting holding fish
Mistake it fixes: Fishing new water constantly without learning holding spots
Why it works: Repeated fishing builds knowledge of holding lies and productive flows. Holding fish are more catchable than moving fish.
When it matters most: Steelhead, rivers
