Tip
Tip: Keep flies sparse in clear water and use a larger profile in murky water
How to do it: In clear water, fish sparse flies; in murky water, use larger profiles
Mistake it fixes: Using large profiles in clear water and sparse flies in murky water
Why it works: Clear water requires subtle flies that do not spook fish. Murky water requires larger profiles for visibility.
When it matters most: Steelhead, water clarity
