"Lighten Up"
When conditions get tough, the water gets clear, and the fish just won't bite try lightening up on your leader. Drop down a size at a time until you start getting bites, and don't be afraid to go small. Light leader may make catching them a little tougher...but then again, you can't catch what doesn't bite!
Want a little extra stealth? Try this...
Keep a bottle of rubbing alcohol in your tackle box and wipe down your fluorocarbon leader from time to time. A quick wipe will remove any surface dust or grime that may be clinging on to your leader, and also temporarily removes any cloudiness in your leader as well.
Pro Tip: Always replace fluorocarbon leaders when they show any abrasion, chaffing, or wear. As soon as fluorocarbon becomes chaffed it loses all of invisibility properties.
