The Basics of FLy Fishing

By Mitchel Dajon

Fly fishing is a highly rewarding and relaxing hobby. I will try and give you some advice on how to become a better fly fisherman and hopefully you can use this to achieve a better catch rate and become better at fly fishing.

Firstly an immediate change you can make is to pause for a few seconds before pulling your fly out the water before you recast. On many occasions I have had a trout swoop in and grab my fly right in front of me! Presumably the trout has been following your fly back to the bank/boat and has waited till the last moment to strike.

Sinkants on your line can be a great benefit and i would suggest you do it. You get the most benefit from this when you are dry fly fishing, this stops your line from lying on the river which in turn makes it easier for the fish to observe.

Vary the pace that you pull back your fly is another way to improve fly fishing. This has the benefit of giving the fly a look of being alive. Fish can be aggressive towards a fly that is being swiftly pulled across the water. When this happens, you can try doing slower shorter movements.

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.

Crouching low will help when you are fishing this method since trout have very good eyesight, and the possibility of spooking your target fish is increased since the fish may be close to the bank.

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!
