How To Become A Fly Fishing Pro!

Fly Fishing
Fly fishing is very different than fishing with a lure or worm type baits. The fly fisherman uses a
artificial fly consisting of bites of feathers, foam, hide, fur, yarn, and other materials to be tried
on to a hook that make it appealing to the type of fish you are catching. Every fly fisherman has
his own type of flies he likes to use some purchase them and then some of us like to tie our
own. Fly tying is more of an art with basic training which most people can learn over a short
period of time.
The tip of your rod should be in the four o' clock position with 20 feet (6 meters) of line extended
beyond your rod's tip. Trap the line between the rod handle and your index finger. To begin the
back cast, bend your elbow, raise your forearm and move the rod tip from four o'clock to eleven
thirty and lift the line from the water. Pause for a moment at this point to allow the line to extend
behind you before casting the rod forward. Allow the rod to follow through as the line extends to
its full length in front of you. Then continue to work the line in this manner. A fish strikes. The
fight is on and you successfully land the fish. This is fly casting.
Fly fishing is an old method of angling. It was primarily developed to catch trout and salmon.
Today, it is still used to fish these species, but is also used to catch bass, carp, pike and a wide
range of saltwater fish. The difference between casting and fly fishing is that in casting you use
the weight of your bait, sinker and bobber to propel your cast. In fly fishing, the weight of the line
propels your line forward and puts your fly into position. The fly cannot do this, as it is
essentially weightless. The goal in fly fishing is to present the fly gently and to always be in
control of it.
