This is a winter go-to from Matt McCannel. It also works very well other times of the year. Mr McCannel knows picky fish…he’s known to take a ladder on tailwater guide trips to spot fish and talk clients through targeting picky fish. Keep a couple of these in your box and you might just find them in your regular rotation.
