Best Ways of Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is different than using worms or live bait, and a little more patience is usually required. First of all learn what the fish are feeding on, this will give you more effective results. Try to use the fishing fly that most resembles the snack of your prey. My favorite spots to fly fish are in calm pools where salmon and trout usually lay. A great tip is not cast your shadow, this will prevent you from getting lots of bites. After years of fly fishing, I’ve learned fish are not blind or stupid.
Whether you are wading down a shallow stream or fly fishing from a boat, it’s always a good idea to cast your line out in the fast-moving waters. Fish such as salmon and trout like staying in swift water where oxygen is plenty. Fly fishing using a ‘wet fly’ will allow you’re fishing fly to partly sink down in the water coming in visual contact with the fish. If a fish is interested in the fly you are using, it could take hold and you may be in for a fun battle. A ‘dry fly’ will float on top of the water, so for the fish to bite it the fish will need to come to the top. This is called a ‘role’ for the fly. The most important pieces to go fly fishing with are a graphite rod and reel along with some different flys.
