Fly Fishing Tips

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.

Putting a sink ant onto the line is an excellent method I would recommend whole heartedly. This is even more applicable if you are dry fly fishing as your line will stop sitting on the water which makes it a lot more easy to see.

When taking back the fly, you need to vary the speed at which you take it back. As this will improve the real life appearance of the fly. Some fish may be aggressive to your fly as it is being dragged through the river at a high speed. try doing a little pull.

You can also try fishing right next to the river bank in effort to do bettrel. Fish will come next to the river bank if there are reeds and some plants as this can give cover for the petit fish.

Stooping down can aid you if you are fishing using this technique as some fish have excellent vision, and the likelyhood of scaring your particular fish is higher as those fish can be right next to river side.

If you are fishing a place where the fish are especially nervous or hard to catch increasing the length of your leader is a good way of presenting your fly in most natural way possible. I would recommend a leader length of at least 9 ft.

Using these tip and tricks will help make you a better fly fisherman. Resulting in you landing more of your favourite catch in a more normal manner. Enjoy your fishng.
