Tip: Presentation matters more than distance; a good presentation at 40 to 60 feet can beat a poor one at 80 to 100 feet
How to do it: Prioritise presentation quality over casting distance, as a good 40 to 60 foot presentation beats a poor 80 to 100 foot one
Mistake it fixes: Casting long with poor presentation
Why it works: Good presentation at moderate distance catches more fish than poor presentation at long distance.
When it matters most: Steelhead, presentation
