There are a million ways to catch a fish and another million reasons why a person should use a specific presentation to catch fish in a specific situation. In a way, everybody is right, but in a way, everybody is wrong as well. Don t get hung up on rules or reasons when trying to find the best presentation. Force yourself to go through the arsenal and experiment until the fish tell you what the best presentation is for the day. On a final note, remember this.
Every fish is different.
Every day and place is different. Nothing is ever the same. Don t live and die by something just because you caught fish earlier in the day or heard about a friend who caught fish the day before. Focus on the task at hand right below your boots and be versatile. Jason Mitchell is a member of the Devils Lake s Perch Patrol Guide Service.
