That's a solid myth debunked! We are going to have him back on the podcast next month so we will be able to debunk a few more! What would be one question you would have for Tommy when we get him back on as a guest in round #2?
@@WetFlySwing What's the original Larva, Pupa and Dry Fly pattern, and why I would need more than each one of those to catch trout. Well I would need 1 streamer also.
That presentation is the most important element of fly fishing. I have taught that the number one thing people need to think about is strike detection. How do you know when to set the hook. A fish will hit a poorly presented fly but rarer still is a fish that hooks themselves.
All things being equal, presentation is absolutely king. Sure, a fish will SOMETIMES take a poorly presented fly. Or perhaps that poor presentation is what the fish really want. Having a great pattern is meaningless if you can’t present it realistically. Disclaimer: I am speaking of dry fly fishing as that’s what I do most of the time.
Myth 7, Tommy knows all .
