Anglers apply this by focusing on the most productive 20% of water (structure, depth), using their favorite 20% of lures that catch 80% of the fish, and understanding that 20% of conditions (tide, wind, weather) trigger 80% of the action, helping them become more efficient.

Fish feed on insects and prey near the surface during low light, but in warm, clear conditions, they might feed deeper during the day.
