The Basics of FLy Fishing
Fly fishing is a very pleasurable and relaxing activity. In this article I aim to demonstrate some fly fishing tips you can use to increase your catch rate and become a more successful fisherman.
First of all, you need to pause for a few seconds before taking your fly out the river before recasting. On numerous fishing trips I have had a trout swim in and take the fly straight in front of me! I presume the fish has been following my fly back to the river bank and has been crafterly waiting until the last moment to make a move.
Furthermore applying ‘sinkant’ to your line is another tip I would highly recommend. This applies especially when you are dry fly fishing since otherwise your line will sit on the water making it highly visible.
When retrieving your fly you must make sure that you are varying the speed of your retrieve. This increases the ‘life-likeness’ of your fly. Some trout will react aggressively to a fly that is being pulled through the water very fast. Sometimes short pulls can do the trick.
You can sometimes see fish close the the river side, particularly when they have plants and stuff to act as cover for the smaller fish. Therefore you can try fishing in these locations.
Stooping down can aid you if you are fishing using this technique as some fish have excellent vision, and the likelyhood of scaring your particular fish is higher as those fish can be right next to river side.
Sometimes fish can be nervous and that therefore makes them more difficult to land. When this happens you can make you leader longer in an effort to make it look more natural. Maybe nine foot long would be a particularly good length.
If you apply these trout fishing tips to your fishing, your fly will be presented in a more natural and inviting way and you will hopefully catch more fish. Tight lines!
