subject: 3 Expert Tips For Fun Fly Fishing [print this page] Many times, when talking about fly fishing advice, it is not a good idea to think of it in isolated terms.
It is a dream of many people to be wading in a beautiful stream, while they are fly-fishing.
There is a thriving group of people, who make up their own club, and this great fishing sport is what they love. Not everything can be learned right away, so take your time while figuring it out, and just relax. While you are learning, you need to be having fun, because that is what fly-fishing is all about.
And when you consider fish in the river, you probably realize they will know you are there. If there is a risk in the area, they will know. This means, once you get in the water, they are going to operate differently. Aside from instinctual capabilities, they can feel disturbances in the water to detect your presence. It is a fact that people near the water, even if they don't touch it, can cause a fish to react. Yes, when you're on the banks do not make any sound if possible and don't stomp around. Therefore, when you wade in the water, you need to be careful - a special technique must be mastered. Don't push the water. Learn to move within it, and certainly don't start splashing around. It takes practice and you'll scare your fair share of fish in the process.
Many newbies to fly-fishing get confused in the discussion about rods and the "action" of the rod. Rods come in fast action and slow action, and with the fast action rods you can cast farther.
You might think that the opposite was true, by thinking intuitively, but that is not the case. If you want to know the action of the rod, you need to check the bend from base to tip, and see how easy it is. The bending has resistance, which is determined by how soon the bending occurs. The sooner the rod, from its base to tip, bends will determine if the rod is slow action or not. The one that doesn't bend too soon when doing the same thing, is a rod that is fast action.
Fly-fishermen wear hip waders as they wade through the streams, and you have probably seen them in pictures. The rustic and romantic image it makes is quite impressive. Actually waders can be pretty expensive, but they left that out.
If you can only bear to buy one pair of waders, then you'll really need to think about what you do, where you do it, and how often in terms of fishing. If you're also a hunter, then you have to take that into consideration as well. The waders will be worn at different times, like summer or winter, especially if you wear them for hunting. The pair of waders you buy have to be the most comfortable for the conditions you'll be in the most.
Fly-fishing is the most excellent sport in the world however it is something I really enjoy and am very fond of. This is truly a sport for a lifetime because there's always something to learn. Not surprisingly, your chances of fishing are boundless and the whole world can be your fishing-hole.
