Tip
Tip: In winter or high water, focus on the heads and tails of runs rather than fishing an entire run
How to do it: In winter or high water, concentrate on run heads and tails, not the whole run
Mistake it fixes: Fishing an entire run evenly in winter or high water
Why it works: Heads and tails offer softer, more accessible water in difficult conditions. Fish concentrate there when the middle is too fast or deep.
When it matters most: Winter and high water fishing
