Whether you already enjoy other types of fishing, or you're new to the whole sport, fly fishing can be one of the most pleasurable types of fishing. There are many different locations that it can be done, and it takes strategy as much as physical endurance, because getting into the mind of the fish takes some patience. To help you learn more about this unique pastime, we'll be going over some useful fly fishing strategies in this article.
When you are hunting, you need to not scare off the game, and when you are fly fishing you need to also not scare off the fish. One of the mistakes beginners at fishing often make is to not realize that the fish are aware of their presence. They assume that fish live in another universe, when the fact is they are perfectly capable of seeing and hearing you. As you are walking along the river bank, you need to do it quietly. Unless you are by yourself, you should not do much talking. Stay behind the fish, so they won't see you. Since fish are so sensitive to movement of the water, when you are wading try to avoid splashing. Are you fervent about learning to fly fish? Then think about enrolling in a school that teaches fly fishing. There are quite a few schools and it shouldn't be difficult to find one fairly close to you. By getting professional help, you will master the basics of fly fishing much faster and learn things that would normally take you much longer by trial and error. Keep in mind that learning from a professional fly fisher who has a lot of experience is a much more efficient way to learn the basics and get up to speed quickly. Most likely you will discover that the classes are small. The instructors will take you out in the field and you will easily be able to pick up the necessary techniques. If you don't have a school nearby, you could ask around for someone who could coach you - either free or for a fee. This way you can get off to a good start by learning the fundamental skills properly.
The success of your fly fishing expeditions will depend, mostly, on the flies, or lures, that you use. Don't forget that when the fish come towards the surface to eat, they will only go after your fly if it resembles the normal insects they are used to finding at that time of day. This will vary quite a bit based on where you're fishing, the time of year it is, and the kind of fish you want to catch. Take a pre-trip to the area you plan to fish in and make note of the flies that are buzzing around. Pay attention to their color and what they look like. In any event, your selection of lures should be diverse enough to accommodate any changes in the situation in which you find yourself, and should match the season and type of live flies that are prevalent in the area.
Fly fishing is an interesting subject, and the amount of available information is a whole lot. There are certainly resources close by where you live, like the library, but it is much easier to use the internet providing you have a computer. Don't expect to become an expert overnight, but make is a goal to increase your knowledge about fly fishing until others start to ask you for advice.
