To get your lure to act naturally, you have several choices: You open the pick-up finger and let the line run off without interruption, you can manipulate your rod tip, working it up and down, or sideways; or you can give slack and apply tension as your line runs Besides these, you can also enlist the help of the current and important. There's more to this natural presentation of imitation minnow meets the eye. Let's analyze it. Before the angler can fish a minnow properly, he should know the approximate speed of minnows. While growing, a fingerling increases his speed about a mile per hour inch's length until he is 5 inches long. Thus a 2 .incher can about 2 miles an hour in current less water, or about 40 feet 10 seconds. In most streams, the main body of water flows faster that. How then, can the minnow exist in this fast water? He doesn't. He avoids it. Every stream has quiet, slow areas, particularly near the bottom, behind boulders, in the shallows, or among water weeds as you'll see in Chapter III, Reading a Stream.
