Ah.. but "dropping the fly" was the right presentation for that fish. You
were just in the right place at the right time.
So Im sticking with presentation.

"Which of the following is the most important tackle detail for catching
fish?
a. Strong knots
b. Line selection
c. Sharp hooks
d. Lure (or fly) choice
e. Presentation"
An interesting question.
I have seen people, including myself catch fish with the wrong
patterns, dull hooks, and at the wrong depth using the wrong lines. I
have dropped a steelhead fly into the water while stripping line off
the reel and hooked a Deschutes summer run, but I have never held a
fish on with a bad knot. My vote is for (a), strong knots.
