Fly
Fishing Secrets for the Novice as well as the seasoned
Angler
by: Brett Fogle
Fly fishing is an exciting and fast growing sport in all
over the world, and especially here in the U.S.A. The
reasons for the increasing popularity of fly fishing are
obvious. Fly fishing is enjoyable, relaxing, and
rewarding in many different ways.
Perhaps the most
rewarding element of fly fishing is the variety of
beautiful natural surroundings in which anglers often
find themselves; a secluded stream up in the mountains,
a peaceful meandering river deep in the forest, or a
tranquil blue lake somewhere out in big sky country. For
some, it may be the opportunity to test ones’ individual
skill against nature - in an intricate game of cat and
mouse (but in this case, man against fish.) These are
just some of the compelling reasons why many thousands
of people enjoy the challenges of fly fishing every
year.
For beginning
fly-fishermen, however, learning fly fishing can be
difficult. We have compiled this e-book to give anglers,
especially new anglers, some guidance on how to get the
most out of the exciting sport of fly fishing. While
there are many other resources available about fly
fishing on the internet, few of them touch on the
techniques, tactics and strategies commonly used in fly
fishing. If these topics sound interesting, then you’re
in the right place because this e-book was written just
for you.
We'll explore in detail
the various fish most people fish for, we’ll cover
casting basics, how to read the water, how to take care
of your gear, how to tie knots, dry flies, and fly
lines. We’ll also explore hatches, cover insect
entomology and much, much more. In short, this e-book
will teach you everything you always wanted to know
about fly fishing! (maybe even more than you’ve ever
wanted to know)
Fly Fishing: Trout &
Their Habitat
Successful fly fishing
involves lots of things, including having the proper fly
fishing gear, using the right flies, being able to cast
correctly, and many more little things that often
determine whether a fly fishing adventure is successful
or not. However, one thing that many anglers frequently
neglect to learn about is the fish that they are fishing
for.
A strong knowledge of
the various types of trout is of critical importance.
Knowing more about the various types of trout that you
are fishing for, their habits, tendencies, and
characteristics, can help tremendously in improving your
catch.
In our next article we
have covered the primary types of trout, their senses,
and other important traits unique to each variety.
