Fly Fishing is a very old method of fishing that is particularly effective for hauling in trout. Ponds, small streams, rivers and lakes are best for trout. Fly fishing is tantalizingly unique in that the bait is artificial flies made by tying, fur, yarn, feathers, foam, or almost anything else that can be made to look like a fly onto a hook as bait. The best way to learn how to tie flies is to talk with anglers who have become experts over time or you could attend a fly tying school.

Dry fly fishing and wet fly fishing are the two forms of fly-fishing. Dry fly fishing is the most familiar and is regarded as the classic form. Using the dry fly fishing technique, the angler casts the fly upstream hoping that the trout will rise up and bite the fly as it passes overhead. Wet fly-fishing involves fishing beneath the surface of the water and can be divided into lures fishing, true wet fly-fishing and nymph fishing.

Fly-fishing tackle, and fly-fishing reels and rods are all commonly used fly-fishing equipment. Utah, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, California, Idaho and more recently New Mexico are all popular fly-fishing areas in the U.S.. British Columbia and Alberta are also very popular.

The popularity of fly-fishing has increased dramatically in recent years. It is definitely a fast growing sport and it’s easy to see why; it’s relaxing, enjoyable and rewarding. Usually, fly-fishing anglers practice the sport in the most beautiful areas of the world. Fly-fishermen worldwide are known to have an on going love affair with their sport.

Beginning fly-fishing anglers may have difficulty learning the sport. Probably the best place to learn is a fly-fishing school or from a fly-fisherman that is willing to take you on as a student. There are also a number of excellent fly-fishing courses on the Internet. The school you choose should teach the techniques, strategies, and tactics used in fly-fishing.

Before you get hipdeep in any water, you should learn about the various fish you’ll be casting for, learn the basics of casting and how to read the water, you’ll want to know how to take care of your gear and how to tie knots, and maybe you’ll even want to learn a little about hatches and entomology.

This sport is a life-long source of endless delight. You will live to feel the hairs on the back of your neck tingle as you watch a trout looking upstream for the fly you’ve just cast.

Some people refer to fly fishing as an art. It is graceful to watch and quite amazing to see expert anglers dancing the fly on the water. In order to partake in this angling dance you need the proper fly fishing rod-reel combo. Fly fishing rod-reel combos can be purchased as a set or one can pair up their own.


There are several different types of fly-fishing reels; small, medium, and large arbors. The size of the arbor relates to how much line your reel uses per crank of the rod. Qualities to look for in your fly fishing reel are if they are made of a high quality aluminum, designed for precision, have a smooth drag with instant line release, waterproof and corrosion free. You can purchase fly fishing reels now for left or right-handed anglers and some companies offer reels that have been ergonomically designed for the avid angler to avoid undo stress on the anglers' wrist.


There are three basic fly fishing actions used, slow, medium and fast. Slow action rods are great with smaller fish and are extremely bendable. They are great for accuracy but can be difficult to control for a novice angler. The slow action rods are best for short-range casting. For novice anglers, the medium action rod is better. They still have the flexibility needed in the middle and tip of the rod and are great for any range casting.


The fast action fly fishing rods do not offer much bend except in the tip. They are better suited for long-range casting and bigger fish. Rod length is also significant in your choice. Short rods measure less then eight feet, have less action, and are a good choice for smaller creeks or streams. Medium rods range between eight and nine feet and are universal as far as cast lengths and water types. Large fly fishing rods measure over nine feet and are best suited for larger fish and bodies of water.


Fly-fishing rods are made out of fiberglass or graphite. Graphite is the more expensive of the two but due to their lightweight in nature, allow for better accuracy. Fiberglass is universal in use but actually holds up longer then the graphite. The rod material ultimately is more of a personal preference. The anglers grip on the rod is important in relation to the size of game. The Cigar grip works well for smaller fish. Half-Well grips are generally on medium rods and work well for medium sized fish. The Full-Well grips you will find on large rods for large game fish.


Your fly fishing rod and reel combo does not have to be expensive to be effective. In pairing up your own set, make sure your reel balances out your rod; large reel requires a large rod. By matching up your rod, to your reel to the intended target, you cannot go wrong.

Before you head to the store with your money and start shopping for fishing reels, you need to think long and hard about what you need. If you're familiar with what's available, you already know that the selection is pretty wide and can be hard to navigate. That's why your best course of action is to begin at home with some research and go into the store ready already knowing what type of fishing reels will work best for your specific needs.

Let's look at those different types of fishing reels.

Fishing Reels: Casting

Casting fishing reels are used for exactly what the name suggests. If you're doing mostly inshore fishing and you need to get that bait or lure into the water, you're going to probably focus on these types of reels. They actually have a fairly long history in fishing and most were developed from some early, popular models that developed in the 19th century.

Within casting reels, you'll also find level winding and non-level winding varieties. The one you choose depends mostly on what feels right for you so test out a few different models of each before settling on your preference.

Fishing Reels: Spinning

Another popular type of fishing reels is the spinning ones. These reels first hit the United States when they were introduced hear during the mid 20th century from Europe. After that, their popularity among fishers exploded and they continue to be a popular choice for inshore fishing. One major advantage is cost. You'll spend a lot less on these types of fishing feels than either of the ones listed below. Keep in mind that these types of fishing reels come in two types as well: open face and closed face. Again, you'll want to do some hands-on testing at your favorite fishing ground to see which variation works best for you.

Fishing Reels: Fly

If you're planning on doing any fly fishing, then you'll want to choose these types of fishing reels for your needs. Nothing else will work quite as well for most fishers. These reels tend to be narrower even when they have larger spool diameters. Most also don't have gearing. As fly fishing has become more popular, the price of these reels has begun to increase so keep that in mind when you're beginning to search for the right fishing reels for your needs.

Fishing Reels: Trolling

These are the best reels to use if you're interested in doing some deep water or bottom fishing, such as for catfish and similar species of fish. Although in many ways they look like fly fishing reels, you'll probably notice that they are larger and have wider diameters. Prices on these types of fishing reels, which are primarily designed for offshore fishing, can be a bit steep. However, if you're serious about catching certain fish then you're absolutely going to need to make the investment.

Remember as you're searching for fishing reels your best choice is to browse online at shops like Sea Isle Tackle.

First, although fly rods have different shapes and sizes; some are longer, heavier or more colorful than the others, the different parts of a rod doesn’t change at all. The important part of the rod is referred to the rod blank. It is the central shaft of the rod and it’s where everything, where the rest of the rod is attached. Rod blanks is also called the tip and then the heavy section is called the butt. Generally, blanks are made of graphite but there are still other materials that can be used.

Next is the reel seat. This is located at the butt of the rod. The purpose of this is for the fly reel; the rings found on this part are meant to lock the reel and the foot in place. The material used for reel seats can be either graphite or metal. Then we have the rod handle. This is located just right above the reel seat. This part of the rod also varies in different sizes and shapes. You can find different materials for this one. For more expensive rods, the usual material used on this part is made of rubber. But for the usual cases, (rods that are less expensive) cork is the more common material.

And lastly, the rod guides. These are attached to the rod blank. The purpose is to “guide” the fly line through them. As always, this part of the fly fishing rod varies in shapes too. You’ll also notice that the first guide is identical to the ones found on conventional fishing rods. What they are referred to as well is stripping guides. For the rest of the rod, the wire used is thin and it’s usually addressed as snake guides. The last guide found at the tip of the rod is called the tip top.

Fly Fishing Knots

Fly Fishing Questions... Please help me out!?

A.) How should I tie the knot to the fly? I did it the way I tie my knots to my lures when freshwater fishing, but it makes the fly sit on its side or upside down. (Which I imagine wont be attractive to the fish.)

B.) How long should I let a fly sit before recasting it?

C.) Once casted how far away should the fly be from the yellow line in order to not spook the fish, and still make the presentation attractive to them?

D.) I can only seem to cast the fly about 20-25 feet. Is that about normal?

Answers to any or all of these questions would be greatly appreciated. Please dont answer my questions with questions. :)

THANKS A BUNCH! 10 points best answer

A half blood knot is what i always use to attach my flies, but this can work(its good for fluorocarbon line too)

http://www.animatedknots.com/improvedcli...

B.I assume your fishing a dry if you say let it sit, well with lots of gink to keep it afloat cast it and leave it as long as possible, the occasional twitch of the fly line can help, if its nymphs they must also be fished slow let them drift with the current and if needed bring them back with a slow figure of eight retrieve. If you see a fish rise, bring your fl back in and cast about four feet infront of it, this is when good casting is needed.
D.Casting can be hard but once mastered it can be very useful, you should be able to catch on a stocked lake with that kind of cast but a little more distance would be better, the only way to do that is to practice, also make sure your using a WF line and a medium to fast action rod

*C* you need a leader length of about 12 feet, this will stop the fish being spooked,a tapered leader will help to present your dry flies better

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...

Fish one fly at a time, its better to fish one fly properly than three flies incorrectly. When your tapered leader becomes short add a length of tippet to increase its length, this can be fluorocarbon or copolymer, dont use fluorocarbon with dry flies as it will pull them under.

Read through this and you will get lots of info, dont let the name stop you it is fly fishing

Beginning Fly Fishing

Where is the one that got away?

I was fishing in the weedy backwater of a lake yesterday when I got a big bite next to some lilypads. I began reeling in and got to see the head of a very big bass. Unfortunately, my line snapped and the fish got free just a few steps away from me.
I went for another pole and went back to the same spot and fished it for 2 hours with no other bites.

My question is: In a case like this does the fish go back to the area it was in when it took the bait or does it just fly off to another locale. Is it worth it to fish the same area in the hope of finding the fish again?
I was using a 7inch fake worm.

This happened @ Winchester lake in Ct.
**It was a bass

I've caught some nice bass out of that lake.......
how well did you set the hook? give it a little time to spit the hook out or fall out.....

there is no guarantee that he will be back but keep in mind the structure/weed-bed area and look for similar structure

Our goal is to bring the best technology in reels to any given price point. We?ve now addressed the important $100+ price point with Konic. Please read on to find out what makes Konic a better reel than any other comparably priced alternative. When designing the Konic, we started with one given: to incorporate the same fully sealed conical drag system and stainless steel roller clutch used in our high-end reels. The drag system in Konic uses the same fully machined parts, made of the same materials, and to the same specifications, as the drag used in the $400+ Waterworks reels or any of our other high-end reels. This is the principal benefit of the Konic versus competitive reels. What other $100+ reel can say that it shares proven drag technology with a $400+ reel? In order to deliver this expensive drag in a low-priced reel we are die casting the frame and spool. But this is no low-end die casting. This is Pressure Casting with molten ALDC12 aluminum allo...

Okuma SLV Fly Rod

In view of the wide research done in fly fishing the number of fly fishing rod types in the market are quite large and you have a great choice and brand names. The first aspect you have to consider is the weight and duty for which you are purchasing the fishing rod. They are generally available in gradations from 1 to 9 depending on their weight. Lower the numbers lower the weight and so on. The cast line is directly proportional to the fly rod weight and this is an important parameter.

Significant features of a Fly Fishing Rod

The topic of choosing the most appropriate fishing rod that you can use in fly fishing can be quite complicated and you need to logically understand the various features that are to be considered in the course of your choice. It is imperative to have the basic date on what the fishing rod is being used for in terms of the fish species and the waters where you will sport for those kinds of fish. Finally one needs to stipulate the amount worth spending for all this gear in order to satisfy one\'s craving for this sport.

The Fishing Rod

The most important feature of the fishing rod is its flexural characteristics. It is designated as slow to fast and you should try to understand this concept before purchasing a rod. The amateurs who have just started fly fishing need to begin with medium or medium-fast action rods and graduate on to more sophisticated construction as you gain more experience. It invariably depends on the aptitude of the angler and only a general guide line can be given since the feel and strength control of casting vary from person to person.

What is your Fish?

The type of fish is all important to determine the quality of your fishing rod. Remember that the general maxim is to equate the weight of the fish to the weight of the fishing rod. Mostly it is useful to use light to medium heavy fishing gear for many common fish. Always consult an expert or information on the Internet on the data pertaining to fish and fishing rod relationship.

Fishing Location and your Fishing Rod

The fishing rods depend also on the waters that you encounter for the particular species of fish. The dynamics of the ponds, lakes or rivers ascertain the weight of the casting rod and so does the climatic conditions at different times of the year. Mild conditions and medium fish require light to medium heavy fishing rods whilst severe climatic variations or high water current needs heavier varieties.

Cost is always important!

Quality and cost never blend and one must find a good relationship by generalization technique. The common or let us say popular St. Croix Fly Fishing rod is quite suitable for most of the angler\'s needs. If you have more to spend then go in for the more expensive rods that will give you additional features and efficiency. It is your passion for trout that will determine your attraction to a particular fly fishing rod!
