Tip
Tip: Use a suggestive pattern rather than an exact imitation, and try different colours; a light, visible colour can help track the fly
How to do it: Choose suggestive patterns over exact imitations, trying different colours, with light visible colours helping track the fly
Mistake it fixes: Insisting on exact imitations only
Why it works: Suggestive patterns imitate general prey features that trigger strikes. Light colours help anglers track flies.
When it matters most: Steelhead, fly selection
