Tip
Tip: Many fish are within 30 feet or less; longer casts are mainly for spots that require them or for winter
How to do it: Focus on short casts within about 30 feet, reserving longer casts for spots that need them or winter conditions
Mistake it fixes: Casting long by default
Why it works: Most holding fish are close. Short casts are more accurate and disturb less water than long casts.
When it matters most: Steelhead, casting distance
