On countless occasions we've made sure the following question: what fish eat?. Well, that question the only way to answer it is to experience, yet we will find situations that will be very difficult to answer, the weather, water, technology, etc ... are among the many factors that together with the correct imitation give us success in the capture.
If any of these factors fails, you may even give the imitation theory adequate to the time we leave without capturing any of our house. There are however other cases in which apparently nothing fails us and the situation is also outright failure, may not find explanation here, and so are the circumstances in which the fish will not eat, or if, perhaps these microorganisms that also inhabit our waters?, go! if so it could fisherman capable of performing any such imitations.
We will leave aside these exceptional situations and we will focus on doing well and know imitations, particularly those micromodels, which used properly will give us good catches and success in exceptional circumstances.
