Fly Fishing Tips

By Mitchel Dajon

It can be both relaxing and pleasurable to fly fish. In this article I try to show you the tips and tricks of fly fishing that you can utilise to improve your catch rate and therefore become a better fly fisherman.

One thing you need to do is to pause for a little while before removing the fly out the stream before your re-casting. During a lot of expediitons I have had a fish come in and remove my fly right in front of my eyes! The fish must have been tracking my fly all the way back to the river ship and has sneakerly made a strike to take it right at the end.

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.

Alternatively fishing close to the bank can be successful. Trout often swim close to the bank if there are reeds or other plants since these will provide shelter for small fish.

Crouching low is especially useful when you are fishing and ustilising this method as fish have been know to tremendous vision, therefore the probability of scaring your fish is significantly increased due to them being directly adjacent edge of the land.

Believe it or not, fish can also suffer from nerves, this in turn makes it a lot harder snare. If this is the case, consider using a leader that is bigger in length. This will help give it a natural look. Nine feet in length is considered to be adequate.

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!
