It can be both relaxing and pleasurable to fly fish. In this article I try to show you the tips and tricks of fly fishing that you can utilise to improve your catch rate and therefore become a better fly fisherman.
One thing you need to do is to pause for a little while before removing the fly out the stream before your re-casting. During a lot of expediitons I have had a fish come in and remove my fly right in front of my eyes! The fish must have been tracking my fly all the way back to the river ship and has sneakerly made a strike to take it right at the end.
Sinkants on your line can be a great benefit and i would suggest you do it. You get the most benefit from this when you are dry fly fishing, this stops your line from lying on the river which in turn makes it easier for the fish to observe.
When retrieving your fly you must make sure that you are varying the speed of your retrieve. This increases the 'life-likeness' of your fly. Some trout will react aggressively to a fly that is being pulled through the water very fast. Sometimes short pulls can do the trick.
You can sometimes see fish close the the river side, particularly when they have plants and stuff to act as cover for the smaller fish. Therefore you can try fishing in these locations.
Stooping down can aid you if you are fishing using this technique as some fish have excellent vision, and the likelyhood of scaring your particular fish is higher as those fish can be right next to river side.
If you are fishing a place where the fish are especially nervous or hard to catch increasing the length of your leader is a good way of presenting your fly in most natural way possible. I would recommend a leader length of at least 9 ft.
Using these tip and tricks will help make you a better fly fisherman. Resulting in you landing more of your favourite catch in a more normal manner. Enjoy your fishng.
