Tip
Tip: For midday fishing, position so fish chase the fly away from the sun rather than turning into the sun
How to do it: In midday sun, position so fish chase away from the sun, not into it
Mistake it fixes: Positioning so fish must turn into the sun to chase
Why it works: Fish chasing into the sun are blinded and less likely to commit. Chasing away from the sun gives them a clear view.
When it matters most: Steelhead, midday fishing
