Question the ethics of fishing guides who focus on limiting out and quickly moving on to the next set of clients. When fly fishing for smallmouth buffalo, use smaller flies with short tails to increase hooking success. For two-hand micro spay casting, find a moving stream to practice in and consider getting lessons from experienced guides or anglers. When fishing for Rios in crystal clear water, be patient and try to provoke a reaction bite by irritating the fish with your fly.
