The peace that is fly fishing
Fly fishing is a distinct and ancient angling method, most renowned as a method for catching trout and salmon, but employed today for a wide variety of species including pike, bass, panfish, and carp, as well as marine species, such as redfish, snook, tarpon, bonefish and striped bass. Fly fishing is a sport enjoyed by millions of American anglers. Fly fishing is not too difficult to learn, but it does help to read up on the sport and practice with an experienced angler. Fly fishing is what you make it, so make it fun.
Fishing
In fly fishing, fish are caught by using artificial flies that are cast with a fly rod and a fly line. Unlike other fishing methods where the cast is delivered by the weight of the bait or lure, fly fishing relies on the rhythm imparted to the rod and line, with the fly trailing, to project the offering to a likely spot holding fish. Fishing drops off during the peak heat of summer due to algae blooms. Fishing is a relaxing sport and is ideal for a family fun day.
Fly
Fly lines are heavier than regular fishing line, some made to float and some heavier to sink. Fly fishermen seeking bass developed the spinner/fly lure and bass popper fly, which are still used today. Fly rods can be as short as 2m (6 ft) long in freshwater fishing and up to 4. Fly fishing can be done in fresh water or salt water. Fly fishing for trout is a very popular sport which can be done with dry flies or sinking wet flies, nymphs and streamers.
Guide
Guides teach casting techniques, fly selection, stream entomology, how to chosethe right gear and essential knots. Guides may not always spend full days with you as you may seek quiet time to yourself. A guide who will wade with you in the water usually charges $250 to $300 for two people for a day.
Tying
Artificial flies are created by tying hair, fur, feathers, and other materials onto a hook with thread. Fly tying is a complimentary activity to fly fishing. There is no definitive answer when it comes to tying you own leaders in an already complex sport we call fly fishing. Obviously the thrill of tying your own fly and having it succeed in capturing a new species is a very rewarding exercise, if you think it might work, give it a go.
Fly fishing is one of the oldest known methods of angling. Fly fishing is exciting and interesting because you have to directly work the fly to entice the fish to bite, as well as sight fish (most fly casters work the fish as opposed to working an area), and developing fly casting skills. Fly fishing is becoming one of the fastest growing sports around.
