Fly Fishing Nymphs

Fly fishing -nymphing for beginners.?

here are some photos of the water I'm going to be fishing so please look at the river so i know how I should nymph fish it.

Your links did not work for me anyway.

Best thing I can tell you is find riffles and large rocks that have a eddy on the down stream side. Cast to the top of the riffle and let the current take you nymph into the eddy. Might help you to have a strike indicator on your line as well.

Czech Nymphing - Fly Fishing Flies Selection

Czech Nymph Fly Selection

There is one essential thing that the fly fisherman will need when czech nymphing, that is heavy flies! Usually using a team of 3 flies on droppers with the point fly being the heaviest fly.

Cased Caddis - The Prey

Caddis Flies are widespread across Europe wherever water is available, either static or running. However, the adult is a strong flyer and can move some distance from ponds, streams and rivers, especially as it is attracted to light.  However it is the larvae form that is a key part of the diet for fish such as trout. The larvae which make a "case" in which to live using small stones, sand, pieces of leaves and all glued together with a silk lining inside. The silk is spun with a secretion from labial glands (around the mouth) like moth larvae. When full-grown the larva pupates in the case which stops being mobile and may be glued down to a rock. 

The cased forms feed on vegetation whilst the caseless forms tend to be either carnivorous or detritivores. The predatory ones are those free living. The web-spinning, caseless larvae may create a silk tube in which to live whilst those in moving water spin the web between stones. This web may trap small invertebrates drifting with the current. This invertebrate drift, as it is known, is an abundant source of food as the current constantly dislodges animals living on the bottom of streams and rivers. Many of these caseless caddis larvae are associated with particular speeds of flow. However, much of what they catch will just be drifting detritus and other organic particulate matter on which the larva will feed (hence detritivore). Some particulate matter will be drifting plankton. Those larvae in especially fast flowing water, e.g. Hydropsyche, will have toughened upper parts to the thoracic segments (thickened external skeleton is refered to as being sclerotised). The larvae have their abdomens safely in the silk tube but the front section of the body protruding into the current. This sclerotisation may be an adaptation to protect them from small stones and other material hitting them.

It is this caddis that is one of our primary fishing imitations when czech nymphing. Below are different imitations that can be used in descending weight order, with the heavyweights of the czech nymphing world described first.

Czech Bottle Fly - Super Heavyweight Flies

Czech bottle nymphs are the "bruisers" of the fly fishing world. Designed to hold botom in the fastest of waters a czech bottle nymph is a uniquely designed fishing fly.  The Bottle Fly is a complete fly, designed in the shape of a bottle and is available in 2.2gm, 3.4gm, 4.4gm and even 5.5gm weights. The fly is manufactured from pre-made moulds which are tied very simply, the bottle is rolled in glue and sand is rolled onto the fly, a hackle is then simply tied to the front. The finished fly is identical to a caddis in its nest described above. The beauty of this fly being that it will hold bottom or take a team of flies to the bottom of the fastest of rivers. We use this for sea trout frequently as it can be used to hold a snake fly low in the fastest of waters!

Traditional Czech Nymphs - Heavy Flies

These are the more "traditional" czech nymphs used around the world. These are still a heavy fly, often tungsten weighted to keep the fly low in the water.  Czech nymphs are available in a range of colours, from pea green to cream and red, from hares ear and amber to sparkle and orange. They key with these colours is actually that the czech nymphing technique is forcing the trout to make a rapid decision, fast water with stimulating colours is often deadly.

A technique I frequently use is to use a heavy fly, often a bottle fly on the point with a natural colours czech nymph on one dropper and a nymphs with colours on the second dropper. Using this technique you can see what the trout are eating before focussing on specific colours.

Goldhead / Beadhead Flies

These are the "lightweight flies" used in czech nymphing. The Goldhead or Beadhead fly has a small bead which gives it weight, ideal in slower rivers when czech nymphing and frequently used as an alternative dropper.

Standard Nymphs

Do not forget to truly work a team of droppers, there is nothing to stop the fly fisherman using a standard caddis, nymph, stonefly or other fly on a dropper when czech nymhing, the key is that it needs to be kept low and close to the river bottom.

Fly Fishing Flies

Fly Fishing Kayaks

Fly fishing is a unique activity to be practiced while in a kayak and is not favoured by many kayakers. Fly fishing from a kayak is not very easy and requires great control and experience. However, once paddlers can master this art, fly fishing from a kayak can be a very exciting and equally fun filled activity.

Fly Fishing Using a Kayak

Usually the amateur kayakers do not indulge in fly fishing from a kayak because they do not have the skill to balance the kayak while fishing. Kayaks are mainly used for fly fishing only on such lakes and ponds where no other watercraft can be used. Kayaks are very comfortable, fast, can save a lot of energy and allow exploring remote fishing areas.

Yet another advantage of fly fishing from a kayak is it does not make any noise. In the absence of any noisy propeller or flippers, paddlers can silently approach the fish and get a good catch. The greatest advantage of a kayak for fly fishing is that paddlers can reach those areas where no other fisherman can venture.

Kayaks for Fly Fishing

Often, many fly fishing enthusiasts keen on using a kayak are perplexed about the most efficient type of kayak for fly fishing. The most preferred kayak for fly fishing is a flatwater kayak that is as short as possible. A kayak about 9 feet in length is a great kayak that can provide a great kayaking as well as a fly fishing experience.

A smaller kayak is easier to control and balance while fly fishing. Kayakers must bear in mind that smaller flatwater kayaks have limited tracking capabilities and do not go very fast as well. However, they are perfect for those who do not plan to venture very far (beyond 3 miles). These kayaks are easy to maneuver as compared to larger flatwater kayaks, which is a key factor in fly fishing.

Fly fishing kayaks must be great at maneuverability at a reasonable speed so that kayakers can explore the most secluded weeds, shallow waterways, bulrushes and tules.

The fishing fraternity is divided over the topic of using a sit-in or sit on top kayaks for fly fishing. Traditionally, paddlers interested in fly fishing used the usual sit-in kayaks only. However, off late many use the new sit on top kayaks as they provide greater stability and are closer to the water surface. Many paddlers also like to use special angler kayaks that are equipped with fishing accessories for fly fishing.

Few Tips for Fly Fishing From Kayaks

Fly fishing from a kayak is not an easy task and there are several tips that can help paddlers in this venture:

1. Paddlers keen on fly fishing on flatwater must not venture out in their kayaks if the wind conditions are too strong. During strong gusts of wind, the kayak would move very fast and it would be very difficult to continue fishing.

2. Paddlers must always maintain a position wherein they cast straight ahead of the kayak while fly fishing.

3. It is always a great addition if paddlers can manage a few strokes while holding the fly fishing rod.

4. It is recommended that beginners complete at least a basic course in kayaking before venturing into fly fishing from a kayak.

5. It is important that kayakers are oriented with the location to have a great fishing session.

These are some of the basic features of fly fishing from a kayak. It is very important that kayakers bear these points in mind before venturing into fly fishing.

Flies For Fly Fishing

What kind of flies should I be fishing with on the Missouri River west of Great Falls, MT?

Not sure what kind of flies I should use for fly fishing this time of year. I went to today with no success.

Are you fishing the farmlands, say from Casdade to Great Falls?

Or are you up in the Holter Dam to Cascade area?

If you are down in the farm lands, I have never fished there.

Holter Dam to Cascade, that is a different story.

Nymphing is really great this time of year.

Dry fly when you see the hatches coming off.

The Missouri River fishes mostly really small flies, far smaller than many other Montana rivers.

In the past I have had great luck with the following nymphs fished 3 to 5 feet under a strike indicator:
Bead Head Hare's Ear with flash; BH Gold Ribbed Hare's Ear; BH Copper John; BH Lightening Bug; BH Pheasant Tail and Pheasant Tail with flash; Brassie. All of these fished right off the bottom.

For dries the Elk Hair Caddis in tan or brown is a good one as is the Adams or Parachute Adams.

All of these are small, nothing over size 16. The fish really key in on the smaller flies.

In some of the deeper holes you could do some streamers going deep after the Browns.

I looked up the following info from my copy of Flyfisher's Guide to Montana.

Midges come off year round on the Missouri. Good flies would be the Griffith's Gnat 18-24; Adams 16-24; Palomino Midge 16-24; Serendipity 16-24.

The Pale Morning Duns should be starting up really soon if not already. Flies like a PMD Crippel 16-22; Sparkle Dun 16-22; Rusty Spinner 16-22; CDC Transitional Dun 18-22; Hare's EAr Nymph 16-20; Pheasant Tail Nymph 16-20.

The Caddis should be coming off by now and flies like the Black Caddis Pupa 16-18; X-Caddis 16-18; Emergent Sparkle Pupa 16-18; Hemingway Caddis 16-18; Tan Caddis 16-18; Elk Hair Caddis 16-18; Soft Hackle 14-18.

Good luck.

The Best Saltwater Fishing Flies are a Mouse Click Away

Flies sure have come a long way. Today there are dozens of specialized vices and tools as well as hundreds of supply outlets. And of course you can buy ready made fresh or saltwater fishing flies from anywhere in the world, with the click of a button. But one thing remains the same; the best flies are hand tied by people who tie from experience. And that's what this article is about. We're going to take a look at some of the best flies, for any fishing conditions and locals, hand tied by the true masters.

Let's do this by region. If you are planning a fishing getaway this will give you time to get the best flies you need for where you want to go. And of course, it never hurts to try a new fly at you favorite local spot. You never know...

Starting in the northeast I bring your attention to Joe "Flycatcher" O'Clair. If the name sounds familiar, you might have heard it mentioned by fly tying legend and editor of Fly Tier Magazine, David Klausmeyer. David featured Joe as one of the "top 13 US fly tiers" in his fly tying hardcover classic; "Striped Bass Flies: Patterns of the Pros."

A saltwater fly tying innovator, Joe has designed some great flies for fishing conditions common to many coastal anglers. Located on Cape Cod, he caters to the need for distance casting by beach bound anglers and saltwater flies that are visible, but natural looking, in the cloudy Atlantic waters of New England. Joe's "Cone Head Deceivers" make the distance and sink rapidly. They do the trick nicely, working especially well on Striped Bass and Bluefish. http://www.FlycatcherFlies.com

If you're looking for saltwater flies that work like magic from the coast of Nova Scotia down to the outer banks of Carolina, FlycatcherFlies.com should be your first stop.

Now we head down south to St. Petersburg, Florida and fly tying great Danny Sauvageau, of DansCustomFlies.com.

We visit with Dan for one of his latest creations, "Dan's Weedless Shrimp" http://members.ij.net/danscustomflys/WeedlessShrimpPage.html. This little beauty is virtually snag proof and great for Seatrout, Snook, Bonefish, and just about anything else that will eat shrimp.

Dan has been designing and selling his award winning flies for over a decade. Next time you find yourself in his neck of the woods, a visit to his online store is a must.

Now let's head over to the Pacific Northwest and http://www.adiposflytying.com. If you're looking for great Salmon, Steelhead or Trout flies, look no further. The pros at Adipos got their experience fishing the best that British Columbia, Alaska, Washington, and Oregon have to offer.

These are rugged flies for hearty fish that are as at home in the Washington as they are west coastal Canada.

We finish our online pursuit of great saltwater fishing flies in Southern California with a visit to Gary Bulla of http://www.garybulla.com. Gary is one of the foremost experts in designing flies that work especially well for kayakers and surf casters going after Yellowfin Tuna and Roosterfish.

These are just a few of the great saltwater fly tiers out there. Most of them and countless others sell out of local bait and tackle shops as well so look around the next time you take a last minute fishing trip. There's bound to be a local legend fly tier that has just the right fly for what you're after.

Keep those lines tight!

Fly Fishing Flys

i need the top five flys for south america??? i do alot of fly fishing in north america, but need them for south! thank you all very much!

You will get a variety of answers mainly because of where people fish and what they are fishing for and also personal opinion.

For dries I would have to say the top dry is the Adams and then possibly the Royal Wulff and possibly the Blue Wing Olive.

For streamers, the best bet is the Woolly Bugger in black or olive or brown or many other color choices.

For nymphs there are a lot of choices, but possibly the Pheasant Tail, Hares Ear and the San Juan Worm.

But then that is only my opinion.

Everything You Need to Know about Bass Flying Fishing

Fly fishing is a challenging and fun activity for many fly fishermen. The challenge is to catch different species of fish. Yet, even catching a fish in fly fishing is already a challenge because it is never easy to master fly fishing. Fly fishing success has many factors. One factor the right choice of lures of fly fishing flies. These are used to imitate insects to lure fish and catch them eventually. The lures or flies may either be surface lures of below the surface lures. Common lures are the surface lures and these types of lures can catch big fishes such as the bass.

Bass fly fishing are now being done in fly fishing tournaments. The challenge is to catch many bass or to catch a bass fast. Most fly fishermen practice hard to master the perfect casting in order to create some commotion that will imitate surface animals to attract the bass. Catching bass in fly fishing is a challenge especially on strong fights on the water (bass are big and they put up a fight when they are catched). Bass are keen in waiting to pounce on their prey just as fly fishermen are keen on waiting for their fish.

The bass are easily attracted to surface flies especially if has distinct color. Most fly fishermen make their own lures when they want to catch bass. Bass fly fishing is dependent on the type of lure being used. The key to bass fly fishing success is on attracting the bass to the lures. This can be done by using dark colors such as brown, black or purple when it the horizon is dimming. Bass fly fishing is usually done when the sun begins to set because this is the time when they start to look for food because surface insects are available. Bass lures or flies can also be made using lighter colors because bass will pounce on any insect. There are insect that have light colors and making a bright colored lure or flies will surely attract the bass. Bass are after big insects but there are occasions that they are up for smaller insects which makes small flies feasible for catching bass.

Aside from the color of the flies, the movement is also a strategy to master when wanting to catch a bass. Each fly fisherman has their techniques in moving their bass bugs. They may cast it on the water without making it move on the surface for a few minutes then give it a slight twitch or movement to make bass think that it is a live insect. Bass are just waiting to pounce on their prey and it can be fun to lure them into some non-living flies and catch them easily. Bass fly fishing might seem easy but it is much more complicated when being studied.

Fly Fishing Basics

Getting Great Catches With Fly Fishing Flies

If you are into fly fishing, then definitely you have encountered fishing terms such as artificial fly, wet and dry flies and fly fishing flies. In fact, the term fly fishing will not be without the flies. However, it must be clear that flies, even the artificial ones, can be used for other forms of fishing.

In the game of fly fishing, the main concept is that we try to catch the fish using some form of fly which closely resembles whatever kind of prey your fish is after. In the world of flies and preys, the most popular water insects that are imitates as artificial flies are Stoneflies, Caddis and Mayflies. They are the most commonly imitated insects even during those early times and development of the sport of fly fishing, even up to the modern times.

How are artificial fly fishing flies exactly made?

In the early times, flies that are artificially created are usually made of the combination of feathers, animal hairs or furs; all these three are tied to a fish hook by the early fishermen in order to mimic fish preys, albeit quite crudely. These materials were formed to create imitations of the usual insects and tiny animals (Caddis and Mayflies, as earlier mentioned) and baitfish.

Nowadays, with the modern era of fishing, advanced materials such as synthetics, rubber and mylar are mixed with natural components to produce to highest quality fly fishing flies. The imitation is cunningly so close that even the veteran will be amazed by the resemblance of the fly to the fish prey it mimics. Now there are numerous preys that are being imitated by artificial fly fishing flies such as water and land insects, worms, spawn, small amphibians and reptiles, crustaceans and even birds.

Construction of fly fishing flies

Basically construction of artificial fly fishing flies is done using the method of fly tying. This process involves basic tying tools as well as the components of the fly pattern that are being tied and the pattern to mimic. Fly tying equipment effectively assembles all materials to the fishing hook. Such materials are the common ones like feathers, hooks and furs. When tying flies, natural as well as synthetic components are needed. On the other hand, a fly pattern represents the blueprint needed for fly creation. With a fly pattern, you will know the appropriate size of hooks, the colors, as well as the assembly method.

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.

Fly Fishing

Fly Fishing Spoken Here!

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.

Fly Fishing for Dummies

Clueless about fly fishing?
Me too!
I have been really curious about this sport for some time now. I've seen it done countless of times.

Tried it. Failed.

People have endlessly and tirelessly, with their utmost patience and understanding tried to rub off some fly fishing skills on me - but to no avail.

I have resorted to reading, for now. I decided that whatever I can't do, I might as well LEARN - even just in theory. It helps. I think of my self right now as "A work in progress".

Let's all learn the basics. DEFINITION OF TERMS!
A brief definition about some terms I need to know about fly fishing.

What is Fly Fishing?
Fly fishing is an ancient and distinct angling method, developed primarily for salmonids (trout and salmon, mostly) and now extended to other species such as pike, bass, and carp, as well as a wide range of salt water species.

Fly casting is gripping or holding a fly rod correctly and to adopt the correct stance to maintain comfort and balance. The most basic rule to casting is based on the way a clock looks. Your head points straight up to 12:00, your cast (the tip of your rod) should go back to 10:00 and then forward to 2:00, releasing your line at the end of the forward motion. It is a common mistake to dip the rod below those two positions and almost always ends in a line tangle!

Angler. (Does that have anything to do with Math? I hate Math!)
That would be YOU silly! Someday, IF you learn how to fly fish, you will be called an angler. A person catching fish or shellfish with no intent to sell, this includes people keeping the catch or people that practice the "Catch and Release" method (highly recommended).

The Essentials - If you don't have a complete list of these, you're NOT Fly Fishing!

Fly Fishing rods are long, thin, flexible rods sometimes made of bamboo, but more recently from man-made materials. Fly rods tend to have large diameter eyes (or guides) spaced along the rod to help control the movement of relatively thick fly line. To aid in the freedom of movement required to skillfully cast with a fly rod, there is usually little to no butt (handle) extending below the fishing reel. Although fly rods are mainly used for casting from fixed positions, they can also be used for trolling for fish.

Fishing Reel is a device used for the deployment and retrieval of fishing line using a spool mounted on an axle. They are used in conjunction with the fly rod and are attached to the base or handle of the rod.

Fishing line is any cord made for fishing. Important parameters of a fishing line are its length, material, and weight (thicker, sturdier lines are more visible to fish). The refractive index is also important—lines with a refractive index similar to water are almost invisible to fish. The most important parameter in deciding what line to use is its strength. This is the amount of weight the line can hold before snapping. One must balance the trade-off between strength and visibility.

Flies as Bait? Are you kidding?
Flies or Artificial flies are constructed — "tied" onto a hook with thread, fur, feathers and other materials — in sizes and colors to match naturally occurring food or simply to excite a fish. And to add more confusion, the names of flies: Wet and dry flies, nymphs, scuds, eggs, streamers, steelheads, bass flies, salmon flies,and saltwater flies.

You will be considered a well equipped fly fisher if you bring waders, wading boots, vest net, polarized sunglasses to protect your eyes and see through the reflection on the water, a hat for the harsh sun, sun block and bug dope (bug repellant) - if you don't want to be eaten alive by bugs before you even catch a fish!

Armed with the stuff I read, I went about to experience Fly Fishing without even going near a body of water.
