But part of precision involves the fishes strike window and strike zone. A strike window is the fishes overall perception in its environment. Factors that influence the strike window are water clarity, and sun visbility. A strike zone, on the other hand is an area extending from the fish out to a point that a fish is willing to strike at or chase to hit a presentation. Factors that influence a strike zone are water temperature, and general fish mood.
Hunger is a factor that is influenced in part by water temp and available forage.
Precision is such an important and integral part of the fishing process, that the perception of precision is almost always lost to most anglers. It is such a huge concept that it baffles the imagination. Fish relate to structure, and once again, their mood helps determine their positioning on the available structure. If they are suspending high above the structure, they will be more apt to chase a faster moving presentation than a fish lying on the bottom of the same structure. I use the general rule that the closer a fish is to the bottom of available structure, the more precise the presentation has to be.
