7. Fish under difficult circumstances
 
The long hike can lead you
to unfished water and solitude
- and potentially more fish.

Wind bursts, rough water, no room, large waves, difficult wading, long hikes or even climbs... All are factors that can force a fly fisher to give up his or her endeavor and return home or find another location. But remember: fish don't really care about wind and rough water - not to mention trees or rocks in the backcast. And if you master circumstances and surroundings like that, you will get a lot of room for yourself. Few other people fish such places.
Some fishers will even argument that rough conditions will lead to more fish, be it waves, overhanging trees or water that has been left alone because of its difficulty.
Be dressed and tackled to match the conditions. Adjust leaders and flies to rough weather or turbulent water and save the refined fishing for more regular days and places.

The Sirrus COMATRIX 9 wt. is in many ways the perfect pike fishing tool - able to lift and cast large and heavy flies, and with one serious butt section. Dutch Henk Verhaar test fished it in his favorite pike waters and was very pleased.
Chris Edghill writes: "Fascinating to se how they worked together, one would dive in between the rocks and sea grass, completely burying itself and the others just milled around waiting for a shrimp to dart out from it’s hiding place where it would be quickly devoured."
There are thousands of shrimp patterns in the world, made from the same template. This pattern is a time consumer, but it makes it more interesting tying shrimp flies. The eyes, proportions and legs gives this pattern some kind of magic.
