Fly Fishing Tactics To Help Catch More Fish

By Nick Martin


When trying to find the time to get in some fly fishing time during the week, you might be hard put to get the quantity of time you have to go to your favourite location. When you eventually do find the time need and get to your favourite brook, you stagger with your equipment and find out that your methodology isn't what it used to be or never had the right fishing fundamentals in the 1st place. These are the most popular fly-fishing tips for the beginning angler or someone that needs to shine up on their technique. So grab a cheap fishing rod and some flies and get going.

First, never get into the water immediately. Stay on the bank and observe for 5 minutes or so. Break down the stream, look for bugs, and look for fish that are surfacing. Be sure to observe still portions of the stream.

Second, make the 1st cast count. Even if you don't see fish cast as if you know one is right there. This is going to help to build your conviction in the spot you have chosen. Making this sort of commitment will allow for you to become less fickle about the area and therefore making you more patient.

Third, if fishing the evening hatch and you see a fish rise. Wait. The larger fish will follow the littler ones, wait until you see the bigger ones rise and then make your cast.

4th, take a look at your line & fly often. This one makes a ton of sense yet I can't tell you how often I've been with people who will make 20 casts with their sprite before they even trouble to check it. A lot of time & opportunities are wasted by not checking frequently for tangles and fly loosening.

Eventually, practice your casts and line placement. If you can master all of the strategies then you will be able to raise your success rate or maybe be in a position to get the really big ones that often are in tough lies that require technical casts. Remember, it never injures to practice casting technique in the back yard.
