Tip

Tip: Even a mangled fly can keep catching; do not discard it too quickly

How to do it: Keep fishing a mangled fly, as it can still catch fish

Mistake it fixes: Discarding mangled flies immediately

Why it works: Mangled flies often still imitate prey effectively. Discarding them wastes usable flies.

When it matters most: Fly selection, damaged flies
