Fly Fishing Techniques And Tips

By Michael Obrien


Southeast fly fishing is a method of catching fish with the use of an artificial fly as a lure. It will be cast into the water by using various equipment such as rod, reel and a specialized weighted line. To be able to do this successfully, one must be able to know different casting techniques.

This activity may be done in various areas either in salt or fresh water. There are a lot of ways to do this. Also, techniques would vary depending on which type of environment you would prefer whether you want to have it in lakes, streams, rivers, seas or ponds. This is widely used in catching fishes such as grayling, trout or salmon.

Artificial flies are created by fastening hair, feathers, and other materials onto a single hook. These will be fastened accordingly by its pattern, size and color for it to match a certain environment. With this, one can attract lots of preys. It can also be made either to sink or to float. Usually, a fish would expect to have its food in a certain area, therefore, one should always bear in mind this step to have a successful attempt.

Fish that are submerged in the water can see the height of objects exaggeratedly. Also, they could see clearly compared to the fishes that are near the surface. This is due to the refraction of light from the surface. Stay low if possible in each approach of catching them. Also, have a comfortable position before trying to cast.

Fishes are sensitive enough when it comes to sound and vibrations. With this, they could easily hear danger and find a way to escape. Try to walk lightly when you are on the river bank. Also, try to wade gently and smoothly so that you cannot create much sound from the water. Fishes usually get scared when they could hear noises from different foreign objects such as rocking boats.

Fishes seek for a peaceful and calm current. They stay on the river banks where the current is low. Before diving into such part, try to fish with your feet on the ground first. Closed areas are also good spots. Beginners usually tend to become very excited in making a long cast. This is definitely a huge mistake. This can only be used when you are in salt water.

An indicator that you were successful with your attempt is to see if there are slight movements. This would mean that maybe something has fallen into your bait. Better grab it immediately before you miss such. For many beginners, they usually make a common mistake of waiting for too long which lead them to missing the prey.

In casting, try avoiding the wind. It will serve as your best enemy. It could alter the preciseness of your cast instead. Fishing in the early morning or at night time is better when there is no presence of wind. Fishes also become hyperactive those times.

Knowing the locals of the area can be of much great help. They can help you about the different whereabouts of the place and some information about such activity. They also have guides that will bring you to various Southeast fly fishing shops.
