Fly and Bubble Fishing Review

After enjoying a chilly but hearty tailgate omelet (you know the kind, consisting of everything that hasn't been eaten yet, fried in a cast iron skillet on the old Coleman Stove; no need for pepper, plenty of dirt has blown into the pan) there is nothing like a good cardio workout to start your day. Remember the early Simms neoprene waders? Really, did they have to make them so tight, with that sticky no-slip interior? I was really working up a sweat when my wife, Rhonda, suggested I roll them on like a pair of nylons. Wow! Much easier!

There are seven 'secrets' to fly & bubble fishing that will help you get the most enjoyment possible.

1) Scent Control - Be very careful with suntan lotion, fuel, bugspray, etc., and you can use your own saliva, rub your fly along a fish or crush a few natural insects on the fly.

2) Leader Prep - After uncoiling a leader, make sure to carefully pull the length of it through your hand or a piece of leather, being careful not to cut yourself.

3) Weight the Casting Bubble - Add as much water and/or shot to the casting bubble to achieve the desired depth.

4) Retrieving - Reel while you are jerking the rod to achieve as much speed as possible -- it's impossible to move a fly through the water faster than a fish can swim.

5) Rods - Use a medium action, 6-1/2 to 7 foot spinning rod...graphite rods are strongest.

6) Reels - All casting reels will work -- ideally an open-face spinning real with a minimum retrieve ratio of 5:1.

7) Line/Leader - I use tapered leaders from Best Fishing Secrets because it has a small diameter and virtually no memory.
