Beginner Fly Fishing Tips
The sport of fly fishing is a fun and relaxing pastime, but can also be extremely challenging for the beginner angler. This article lists 10 important fly fishing tips to help the novice get into the sport and become a successful angler.
Tip 1: Silence is Golden
Silence is important if you want to catch fish and not scare them away. Also you do not want to disrupt the concentration of other anglers. Radios and other noisy equipment should be left at home.
Tip 2: Respect Other Anglers
When fishing, respect the space of other anglers fishing in the same river, lake or dam. This is common fishing etiquette, and will ensure that everyone enjoys the sport.
Tip 3: Don’t Wear Bright Colors
Fish have good eyesight, so avoid wearing bright colors and do not wear a white hat. For your fly fishing clothing its a good idea to wear colors with earth tone. During an extended fishing session, the weather conditions may vary quite a bit – so layering your clothing is recommended.
Tip 4: Keep Your Vest Organized
A fly fishing vest (or handy fishing chest pack) is designed to carry your essential fly fishing accessories and gear whilst you are on the water. In order to locate essential fishing items and accessories as quickly as possible, it’s important to keep your fishing vest organized according to some system.
Tip 5: Knowing Basic Knots is Essential
On the subject of fly fishing knots, there are many books, DVDs and online guides available. The essential knots are the double surgeons knot, improved clinch knot, the Albright knot, and the Nail knot.
Tip 6: Get a Tackle Box
A tackle box (or waterproof gear bag) is handy if you have a lot of fly fishing gear to carry. A tackle box will keep your fly fishing equipment organized, secure and dry.
Tip 7: A Wading Staff for Stability
When fishing in a rocky stream or river with unstable footing, a wading staff will increase your stability whilst wading. To improve your stability and grip whilst wading in the water, consider getting a pair of wading shoes.
Tip 8: Sun Protection
Fly fishing for hours in the sun can do great harm to your skin. In order to protect your skin, use a decent sun block product. A good pair of polarized sunglasses will also protect you from the glare that is reflected off the the water.
Tip 9: Rod and Reel Terminology
- guides – metallic rings on your rod through which you feed your fly line.
- butt – bottom section of the fly fishing rod where you hold it.
- reel seat – the reel fits onto the rod at the reel seat.
- locking ring – the ring that is tightened to secure your reel to the rod.
- foot of the reel – the part of the reel that attaches to the rod.
- drag knob – knob on the side of the reel which can be tightened to increase line drag.
- spool – part of the reel around which your fly line is wrapped.
- arbor – central part of the spool to which you attach your backing line.
Tip 10: A Fly Fishing Outfit to Save Money
Fly fishing can be an expensive sport to get into. Buying a complete fly fishing outfit is a cost-effective way of getting your essential fly fishing equipment at a reasonable price. Fly fishing outfit packages contain a matching fly fishing rod, fly reel and fly line which are packaged and sold together.
