Tip
Tip: Use a balanced presentation so the fly hangs horizontally; the same jig-style balance works for other nymphs and on rivers after runoff
How to do it: Present flies balanced so they hang horizontally, a jig-style balance that also works for other nymphs and post-runoff rivers
Mistake it fixes: Presenting nymphs vertically when horizontal balance is needed
Why it works: Balanced horizontal presentation imitates natural insect posture. Vertical presentations look unnatural to stillwater trout.
When it matters most: Stillwater, balanced flies
