Fly Fishing Pictures

What do you think is the most environmentally / conservation friendly past time?

I'm a writer and I've been working on a story about fly fishing in the Midwest. I've found the beauty of this passion very engaging. What activities do you think draw people into thinking more about the "big picture" of the environment while enjoying their interests?

Gardening can be. My garden is about 70% percent natives and relatively near protected open space, so it serves as a buffer zone for mobile species, and allows me, a naturalist, a chance to observe species such as birds, insects, reptiles and amphibians, and mammals, as well as the plants themselves.

Photography is much more environmentally friendly than it was, due to the awesome array of digital cameras now available. I've captured some incredible images with a decent camera.

Several respondants mentioned hiking. I'll add backpacking to the mix. Pack it in, pack it out, you use only what's in your back and you work to get to enjoy some of the most beautiful places on the planet. What a reward for your efforts! Economical, too, depending on what kind of equipment you invest in.

As for the jabs at fishing. I don't know what percentage of fishermen (fisherpeople?) do catch and release, but it is an option. The fees generated from licenses go a long way toward protecting habitat that is valuable to many other species, too. I'm a vegetarian and I don't fish, but I know many if not most fishermen are responsible and would consider themselves to be environmentalists. You have to learn a lot about various kinds of waterways and fish to be successful. And you have alot of time to observe what's around you before, after, and even during.

Birding is very eco-friendly, unless you're generating a huge carbon footprint flying all over the globe to add species to your life list. But you can bird in your backyard, or at a local park, where you can walk or bike to it without even getting in your car.

Which is the most environmentally friendly? That's a tough question, and a good one. But all of the above activities afford people an opportunity to think about the big picture, while pursuing low impact areas of interests.

Fly Fishing Instruction

How would you recommend to go fly fishing?

I am a beginner in flyfishing. What method would you recommend. I tried the false cast already and was okay at it. What method is the easiest for beginners and could you give me links or give me instructions on how to do it?

Well, the false cast isn't really just a method, it's a mainstay of fly casting. The false cast enables you to adjust your distance, it's how you aim your cast, and it can help to dry out your fly if you're using a dry. Beginner or not, you have to master the basic cast if you want to fly fish.

The roll cast is also important, but I'm not going to even try to describe it. It's best for situations where your back-cast area is not clear, and when you have a lot of unfriendly wind. There are many other variations on the basic cast, and these are handy for different conditions and settings, but you must be proficient in basic casting before you move on to those.

There are a number of casting videos on YouTube. Do a search on fly casting and watch a few. Some are pretty good, some suck. You can also get books and DVDs from your public library on fly casting, though I have to say that learning to cast from a book like learning to speak Spanish from someone who only speaks in sign language. Stick to DVDs for casting instruction. Sometimes schools, angling clubs, or other organizations have fly casting seminars. My chapter of Trout Unlimited has a couple free seminars each year. Check around your area for opportunities like that -- the best way to learn casting is personal instruction. If you have some extra cash, consider a class.

Fly Fishing Knots

When you are fly fishing, tying the right knots can make a world of difference in your success or failure. It’s important to not only select the right knot for the situation but also to tie it properly. Poorly tied knots will mean lost fish and frustration for you, so knowing about the right knots and how to tie them can be a huge part of the fly fishing experience.

Before you tighten a knot, moisten it with saliva or with water you are fishing on. This will help the knot slide and seat properly. Lubrication also decreases excessive heat which can weaken the monofilament. Heat is generated by friction created when the knots are drawn up tight. Moistening the knot will reduce this heat and allow you to have good, strong knots.

Tighten knots with a steady, continuous pull. This is called seating the knot. Make sure the knot is tight and secure. To check this, pull on the line and leader to be sure it holds. It’s better to test its strength before you cast rather than to have it break once you get a hook.

There are plenty of books available that give step-by-step instructions on how to properly tie specific knots. You can also find many tutorials online that can show you how to tie specific knots.

You will need to know how to secure your line to the reel. This is called “Backing to the fly reel” and there is a specific knot as to how to achieve that. When you are backing to the fly line, you should use either an Albright Knot or a Nail Knot. The Nail Knot is also good for using when tying the fly line to the leader.

When securing the leader to the tippet, good knot choices include the Surgeon’s Knot or the Barrel Knot. Securing the tippet to the fly can be achieved easily with a Clinch Knot or a Duncan’s Loop.

It has been said that the weakest part of a fly fisherman’s equipment is his knots. A fighting fish will test every link in between the angler and itself. If one of these link is lacking, the line will break and the fish will be lost. Unless you’re really eager to share a “the one that got away” story, learning to tie knots can be the most important part of your fly fishing experience.

Some fly fishing knots are simple to do – others are a little more complicated. Practice tying knots before you get on the water. Become proficient at it and be sure you can do it in low light in case you have a broken line. There is no one knot best for any specific situation – the choice is personal. But when you are fly fishing, you need to depend on your knots and it’s worth taking the time to learn properly.

Hawaii Forum: Popular Summer Vacation Activities

I don't know about you, but I live in a place where you can't really do much in summer, except perhaps shed all you clothes, stretch yourself out tight in an air conditioned room, and pant like a dog. Getting out is a punishment, and no one does it unless they are forced to. Your very survival is at stake; activities are out of the question.

But since you have your summer vacation, you'd like to spend it doing something meaningful and fun. Now what are the most popular fun things that people all over the world do during their summer vacations?

In summer, people like to get in or near the water. They look for recreational activities involving water. For example, there is whitewater rafting. What can match the thrill of paddling furiously as your inflatable rubber raft pitches and bobs dangerously, moving swiftly with the turbulent rush of water in the rapids? You have trained and expert guides to take care of you in case you put yourself in any danger. There are canoes and kayaks waiting on the sidelines to pick you up in case you manage to capsize. But still you feel the delicious threat of living life on the edge of safety. Your adrenaline pump works overtime. You feel alive like never before.

But this sort of high-octane, unrelenting extreme sport is not everyone's idea of good fun. What do you do if you are the quiet sort of person, not particularly athletic, and dislike too much physical exertion? Well, there's a popular water-based sport for you too - there's fly fishing. What's more relaxing than watching the float minute after minute as you sit coolly by, perhaps reading a favorite book or perhaps chatting away to your heart's content with like-minded friends or family members? And when a sizable specimen does indeed swallow your bait, the kick that you get out of it is hardly matched in any other sport.
There are many more aquatic activities for your summer delight. If you'd like to get in closer contact with the waves, why not try out scuba diving? There's a whole new world waiting for you down there. If you choose your scuba spot wisely, you'll get rich glimpses of a wholly different level of existence - the world of fish, corals, mollusks and other forms of marine life.
For some who want to really cool it off, water isn't quite enough. They opt for snow and ice. Skiing, skating and snowboarding are some of the most popular activities of the western world. But how do you get snow in summer? The answer is, not cheaply. There are places in Canada and also in Europe where it is possible to indulge in these activities all the year round. But whether in the Rockies or in the Alps, this will be much costlier than any of your other options. Of course, if your budget permits it, then what the heck?

My personal favorite activity during the summer is one that suits my budget best. I simply take a collection of my favorite books and movies, and hole up in an air conditioned room for a few weeks. They push the food in through small hatches, and clear up the dishes at night. Try it sometime, you might even like it!

Don't Settle for Less, Get the Best Fly Fishing Gear Now

Fly fishing is now a sport and a hobby that most people are enjoying. The main reason for the fast-spreading fame of it is the relaxing effect it has on the body, the entertaining activity it provides and the beautiful scenery we see before our eyes. Before, fly fishing or just plain fishing in general is done to provide food in the table and for survival. However, today, it is done for enjoyment and relaxation.

Unlike other sports it doesn't involve any physical exhaustion and unlike other vacation trips, it actually engages our full attention. This beautiful combination of relaxing us at the same time keeping us on our feet is what makes it a unique and enjoyable activity. The simple ways of doing it is so easy that even a beginner can easily do it. However, it is still challenging enough to keep the veterans interested and hooked. Basically this activity has some special tools. These tools are called fly fishing gear. We basically need a fly rod, fly reel, and fly lines to do it. These things compose the fly fishing gear that we must have. Without one of these could mean that we cannot do it because we are not equipped for it. How can we ever do something without the right tools?

In fishing resorts, fly fishing gear is usually available either for rent or for sale. This is for the convenience of those who are using there facilities to do it. The fishing gear plays a vital role in fly fishing. The quality of a fly fishing gear is also another thing to consider. Good quality fly fishing gear could greatly affect the progress of a beginner. Even veterans would patronize the good quality fishing gear. This is because it would be made easier if the quality of the tools we use is the best.

By making sure that we have a good quality fly fishing gear, we also assure ourselves that our tools will not snap in two when we catch a huge fish and that it would still be functional even after a number of years of fishing. Our safety is also involved when we consider buying a fishing gear. Although the chances of hurting ourselves over a tool are minimal, we cannot risk it. This especially true if we plan to go fishing in deep waters using a small boat. A lot of things could happen and accidents do not give warnings beforehand. So to be able to enjoy a safe fishing activity, good quality fly fishing gear must be top priority.

Streamer Fly Fishing

Learning the Different Types of Fly Fishing Lures

Learning the skill of fly fishing is no easy sport for every angler. It involves angle precision in order to achieve the target position of the artificial flies. Fly fishing is almost a game for many because interested anglers are challenged to catch many different fish species with use of the fly rod by imitating insects to lure the fishes. The success of fly fishing depends on many factors and one factor is the fly fishing lure. Imitating insects are done by attaching lures or flies into the fly line to be thrown to the water. This imitation of flies can lure the fishes and eventually trap them and catch them.

There are different types of fly fishing lures or flies and each are listed below

Wet fly This type of lure imitates aquatic insects below the water surface. Meaning this type of lure design are the patterned after drowned insects.

Streamer Lures

This is a type of lure that is a form of wet fly lure. This type is designed to imitate small fishes that are being eaten by large fishes.

Dry Fly

This type of lure is designed to imitate adult stage of many aquatic insects. The lure should be able to ride on the water surface smoothly to make it almost real and close to insects that falls into the water such as beetles and ants.

Nymphs Lures

This Lures imitates the larval form of aquatic insects. This is a special form of the wet fly lure.

Surface Lures

This are also called bass poppers. This type of lured design imitates frogs or mice. They are made from bright colors that are attractive to large fishes such as Northern Pike or Bass especially when they cause commotion due to water movement.

Lures or Flies may be bought in the market or can be self-made. Making flies or lures is a skill and many anglers are learning to make their own lure instead of buying in the market. They are up for the challenge of making the difficult yet best flies to lure the fish close and eventually fall trap to it. Lures may be made from feather, fur or light cloth and tied together with a tie specially made for making fly fishing flies. There are many books or videos providing step by step procedure in making the lures. One just has to follow them properly in order to make the best lure to catch fishes.

Streamer Fly Fishing

Fly Fishing How To

How much must one spend to get a quality saltwater fly fishing reel?

I need a resonably priced reel for chasing Tarpon, Snook, and Bonefish. Brand names would be appreciated.

Okuma makes a decent reel for saltwater applications and you could match that up with decent saltwater rod as well. I would get an 8wt or a 9wt. Go to FAOL or outdoorbest.zerofrorums - flyfishing section and search archived posts and ask some questions. I would not target tarpon with anything less than a 10wt rod and reel with a good line. The 8wt or 9wt will cross between salt and freshwater fishing if you want to target peacock bass in Florida or largemouth basss as well. Based on your budget, say $250 look at Cabelas and Bass Pro combos for 8wt and 9wt. Good luck

Cape Town Beaches

Cape Town is a paradise for anyone who loves to spend time soaking up the rays or riding the waves. Featuring some of the world’s most beautiful beaches, Cape Town is a haven of white sands and sparkling seas. There are numerous beaches in and around the city, and the ones you choose to visit will probably depend upon the type of beach activities you most enjoy.

The Cape is surrounded by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, which meet at Cape Point. The two oceans – one warmer, one cooler – both lap the shores of pearly white beaches, which offer ideal conditions for sunbathing, swimming, water sports, picnicking and recreational sports. Before hitting the sand, find out a bit more about these famous beaches, to discover which ones you’d most like to experience.

Cape Town beach guide

Best beaches for quality

Six of Cape Town’s beaches have been awarded prestigious Blue Flag status by the Foundation for Environmental Education in Denmark. Blue Flag status is given to beaches of an exceptional quality, and which feature a high standard of cleanliness, safety, facilities and water quality. In Cape Town, these beaches are Clifton Fourth Beach, Mnandi Beach, Bikini Beach (in Gordon’s Bay), Muizenberg, Strandfontein and part of Camps Bay Beach.

Best beaches for sunbathing

Camps Bay and Clifton beaches are rated as some of the best beaches for sunbathing, picnicking and enjoying the warm summer weather. Camps Bay Beach is lined with exotic palm trees, while Clifton is the place to see and be seen! Granite boulders at Clifton, separating the strip into four beaches, offer protection from the wind. Meanwhile, the trendy cafés and restaurants opposite Camps Bay Beach offer a refreshing time-out from the sun after a day spent sunbathing and swimming.

Best beaches for water sports

Little Bay and Big Bay beaches, near Blouberg, are ideal for kite-surfing, windsurfing, flying kites and paddle skiing. They also offer magnificent views of Table Mountain, and are popular amongst families. The water is quite chilly, thanks to the cooler Atlantic currents. However, windy conditions make Blouberg’s beaches a favourite amongst water sports enthusiasts.

Best beaches for swimming

The waters of the Indian Ocean are significantly warmer than those of the Atlantic, and thus, the beaches at False Bay are popular for swimming. These beaches are generally also quieter and more relaxed than the Atlantic Seaboard beaches, such as Camps Bay and Clifton. Muizenberg and Fish Hoek Beaches are both popular among families, and offer great conditions for recreational games and swimming.

Best beach for kids

Boulders Beach is famous for its large colony of African penguins, which delight both young and old visitors. And, thanks to its gentle waves and sheltered strips, Boulders is ideal for swimming – especially for kids. Best of all, you’ll get to swim alongside the penguins, or peer into their colonies as you trot along the boardwalk above the dunes. The scenery at Boulders Beach is spectacular, and a trip to this beach is recommended for any visitor to the Cape.

Best beaches for a truly South African experience

At the harbour of Hout Bay Beach is the Mariner’s Wharf – a restaurant offering authentic fish-and-chips, South African style. Spend a day building sandcastles on this family-friendly beach, and be sure to sample the delicious fresh fish and chips served the old-fashioned way – in paper wrappers and boxes. Hout Bay Beach is also good for kayaking and horse riding.

Best beaches for unspoilt beauty

Noordhoek and Kommetjie Beaches are some of the Cape’s most serene beaches, unspoilt and blissfully quiet. Noordhoek Beach, with its 8km curve of powder-white sand, is ideal for horse-riding, kite flying and surfing. Kommetjie Beach is popular among families, and is also a great spot for surfing. Large tidal pools and long stretches of beach – perfect for seaside games – make it a favourite among kids and ideal for families.

The beaches of Cape Town await… Book your holiday now

There are plenty of spectacular beaches in the Cape, accessible from virtually any part of the city. For the easiest access to the best beaches, book holiday accommodation in the City Bowl – the most central place to be. New hotels in the Cape Town city centre offer 5-star lodgings and opulent amenities, adding a touch of glamour to your Cape Town beach holiday.

Fly Fishing For Trout

Fly Fishing for Trout

Fly fishing for trout is the most popular form of fly fishing. Most fly fishing techniques were developed for fly fishing for trout.

Approximately 90% of the trout feed on the bottom of a river/stream or lake; and only come to the surface when there is something large enough to eat. During the summer months, anglers should always be prepared with the right flies to match any circumstance.

Dry Fly Fishing is done with the line and flies that float, using a tapered leader, which is placed between the fly at the end of the leader next to the line. Even though most of the trout feed on the bottom, the number of trout that come to the surface is still enough to keep most anglers very busy. This type of Fly Fishing is considered to be the purest form of fishing.

In some situations anglers wade into the water to fish giving them a better chance. During these months nymph fishing may be more productive. The inactivity of surface insects is less, sending the trout to go deeper to find food. Therefore, nymph flies can be weight at the leader.

When river fishing, trout tend to face upstream in order to watch for food as it gets washed downstream. They tend to stay under trees when there by the bank. When fishing a river start upstream moving very slowly; allowing the fly to drift down stream for a couple of casts. Trout usually shelter behind underwater features out of the current waiting for food.

In cooler water, trout tend to bunch together and may be lured to bite on a streamer fly. Anglers should use a technique of casting out and slowly moving the line from left to right, back and forth to give the fly a more enticing action.

Trout not only like to stay around rocks; they also like weed beds and drop-offs. If the angler should see anything such as these, they should cast ahead of the trout and slowly pull the fly back into the trout's area.

Fly Fishing for trout, is different from cast fishing, where the line on the cast rod is usually already tight; with fly rods there is always some extra line between the index finger, the thumb, and the reel.

So the angler is actually catching the trout while holding the line in their hands, until the trout hits the fly and the angler pulls on the line with the hand that is holding the extra line, to sink the fly hook, at the same time letting the extra line go.
