My 3 Favorite Fly Fishing Tips for Trout

As an experienced fly angler I have learned many things over the years but there are certain fly fishing tips for trout that should always be kept in mind. These pointers are basic but also very important and can make the difference between having success and going fishless.

Striving for a drag free drift is vital in many forms of fly fishing. In both dry fly fishing and nymph fishing most of the time the fly sound be floating with the current and NOT being altered by current pulling the line or leader, or the fly being slowed by the current holding up the float of the line. Even in streamer fishing the fly should be floating downstream with no action and the fish will take it for a stunned or dead bait fish. And just why is a drag free drift so important? Remember the trout is in its natural environment eating natural insects that are usually floating with the current ( both on the surface and below). To fool them your presentation has to look and act natural to the fish. Think about this - if you were eating a bowl of popcorn, the many popped kernels look all about the same. If one of them was very different, say it was pink, or moving around in the bowl, would you eat that kernel or not?

Another useful fly fishing tip for trout is simply this - do not spook the fish! Your location for fishing will dictate how important this is. On a lake or a large river this is not that vital. But on smaller streams the trout will be rather wary. In crystal clear water, shallow water and slow moving streams this can be very important. Sometimes fish will feel your vibrationsfrom the ground as you walk along the bank. Sudden movements, casting directly over the trout or having your shadow falling on the water can all ruin a fish's appetite. Don't "over wade" and go charginginto the middle of thepool where the fish were. Many fishermen make this mistake. Approach with caution and stealth, wade slowly and avoid loud noises and you will dramatically increase your chances of fooling a wary trout.

This may be obvious to some fisherman and never even thought of by others. But this fly fishing tip for trout fishermen is simply to have your equipment well organized. It is well know that the more you fish the more gear you acquire. Heck, isn't that half the fun? But knowing exactly where every thing is so you can get it in a timely manner is important. Most fly fisherman use a vest with multiple pockets. You should know exactly where everything is and always put it back in its proper place. You may end up with several fly boxes, each with certain times of flies (small dies, larger dries, types of streamers, beadhead nymphs, etc) and you want to be able to find the exact fly you are looking for quickly. Other items such as leaders, insect repellent, small flashlight, strike indicators, etc should all be organized well. Fish landing items such as your net and forceps should be easily reached as you will want them in a hurry after you've hooked your big fish!
