Fly Fishing Discussed
Fly Fishing is a very old method of fishing that is particularly effective for hauling in trout. Ponds, small streams, rivers and lakes are best for trout. Fly fishing is tantalizingly unique in that the bait is artificial flies made by tying, fur, yarn, feathers, foam, or almost anything else that can be made to look like a fly onto a hook as bait. The best way to learn how to tie flies is to talk with anglers who have become experts over time or you could attend a fly tying school.
Dry fly fishing and wet fly fishing are the two forms of fly-fishing. Dry fly fishing is the most familiar and is regarded as the classic form. Using the dry fly fishing technique, the angler casts the fly upstream hoping that the trout will rise up and bite the fly as it passes overhead. Wet fly-fishing involves fishing beneath the surface of the water and can be divided into lures fishing, true wet fly-fishing and nymph fishing.
Fly-fishing tackle, and fly-fishing reels and rods are all commonly used fly-fishing equipment. Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, California, Idaho and more recently New Mexico are all popular fly-fishing areas in the U.S.. British Columbia and Alberta are also very popular.
The popularity of fly-fishing has increased dramatically in recent years. It is definitely a fast growing sport and it’s easy to see why; it’s relaxing, enjoyable and rewarding. Usually, fly-fishing anglers practice the sport in the most beautiful areas of the world. Fly-fishermen worldwide are known to have an on going love affair with their sport.
Beginning fly-fishing anglers may have difficulty learning the sport. Probably the best place to learn is a fly-fishing school or from a fly-fisherman that is willing to take you on as a student. There are also a number of excellent fly-fishing courses on the Internet. The school you choose should teach the techniques, strategies, and tactics used in fly-fishing.
Before you get hipdeep in any water, you should learn about the various fish you’ll be casting for, learn the basics of casting and how to read the water, you’ll want to know how to take care of your gear and how to tie knots, and maybe you’ll even want to learn a little about hatches and entomology.
This sport is a life-long source of endless delight. You will live to feel the hairs on the back of your neck tingle as you watch a trout looking upstream for the fly you’ve just cast.

Fly fishing makes us think of fast-moving mountain streams, but in this video produced by fly-fishing mavens Jim and Kelly Watt, the virtues of angling in placid lakes are explored. Kelly joins fly-fishing instructor Bill Marts at a small and quiet lake in Washington State, and they proceed to deliver lessons on finding where the trout are and what particular techniques will pay off in still water. The importance of seeking out "local knowledge" from those who have already fished a lake is noted, and Marts gives good technical advice on tackle, stressing that the urge to "lighten up" on the leader in still water is actually a poor idea, as it puts unnecessary strain on the fish (the emphasis, of course, is on catch and release fishing). Hitting the lake water in small one-person rafts, the two anglers are soon achieving success, pulling gorgeous rainbow trout out of a lake that an inexperienced eye would pass by. The pace of this video is relaxed, but what it lacks in flashy graphics and snappy patter it more than makes up for with valuable advice for casting flies in venues that often go unnoticed. --Robert J.
