Practice Casting
Practice your casting as frequently as you
can to develop a good casting technique. Good practicing will make you
proficient in fly fishing and it makes all the difference from becoming
a successful fly fisher or a frustrated one.
Try practicing against a wall. Imaging a
clock hanging on the wall at the same level of your shoulder. Use black
electric tape markers at the 11:00 and 1:00 clock positions. Practice
casting against these markers for a few minutes each day. You will be
surprised at the improvement of your accuracy and style.
Fly Fishing Rods
Before selecting the right type of rod
know about the functions of each reel and rod. Comfort is more important
and select a rod length that is comfortable to hold and cast for a few
hours. |
Today's rods are designed in such a way
that you can feel when a fish bites.
Practice to hold the rod effectively
without gripping too hard under any fishing conditions. You can minimize
vibrations by adjusting the power of your hold. Increasing the tightness
and relaxing the grip comes with practice.

Tackling Running Fish
Stand on your toes and raise your rod over
the head as high as you can when the fish runs towards you. Take the
line and put it back over onto your second and third fingers of the hand
that is holding the rod. Quickly strip the line to pull up on any slack.
In the case of the fish running away from
you, keep the rod up high and slowly let out the line letting it slide
from your fingers. Be ready to palm the reel of the rod when the slack
is entirely gone.
Choosing Baits
There is a best baits list recommended by
the fly fish experts. Use Grubs to catch larger fish and best
suited for highland reservoirs. Jigs are the best choice for
clear to murky water and for temperatures below 60 degrees. Try to keep
them as alive as you can. For even better results you can use trailer at
the end of the hook. To catch trophy fish use plastic worms. Best suited
to catch any kind of big fish. By practice you can use them more
effectively by touch, feel and practice. Use plastic worm in
clear water. Choose lures that are all black or all white. Experiment
with mixed color lures and fluorescent ones.
