“90% of the fish are caught by 10% of the fishermen”
he was talking about Stealhead fishing, but I think this applies to many fisheries and my goal is to be part of that 10%. Another truism I often repeat has to do with trolling. Specifically changing speed and direction.
“Nothing in nature swims in a straight line at the same speed all day long”
All of those truisms should be taken to heart by anglers who fish in exactly the same spot, the same way on every trip throughout the year. A good example is the bass angler who pounds the same stretch of shoreline with fast-moving spinnerbaits and crankbaits all the time. He catches fish in the spring and fall...when the fish are holding and feeding in those areas. But the rest of the year he catches little or nothing and blames his lack of success on the moon, the stars and DWR.
