Tip
Tip: Give fish what they want rather than arguing about the pattern
How to do it: Fish patterns that match what fish are actually eating, rather than insisting on a favourite pattern
Mistake it fixes: Insisting on a favourite pattern when fish want something else
Why it works: Fish respond to actual food, not angler preferences. Matching their wants catches fish.
When it matters most: Stillwater, fly selection
