As you just saw it takes a keen eye to see the fish in the water through the glare. In these situations you’re not looking for a fish, you’re more looking for a smudge or a dark shape in the pattern of light waves on the water. Note the shape of the fish will look like a torpedo and it should be moving. In these situations it’s imperative to be patient, placing a fly in the right spot will eventually get the fish’s attention.
Now that you’ve learned a bit more about casting and attracting fish on water with a glare try these tricks next time you’re on the river and the sun is shining bright.
