Fishing Frenzy

When speaking of fishing in general, lures are necessary for catching fish, but it isn't that much so when it comes to fly fishing lures. But isn't that strange considering that fly fishing is no different from other kinds of fishing in the sense that you have to lure your fish to catch them? So when we talk about lures in the sport of fly fishing, we are really speaking about flies.

Brass tacks - fish eat bugs. They rely on flies, grasshoppers, and other insects for their food source. When you are fly fishing, you attempt to mimic the look and movement of their food. Therefore, the lure that you are providing them with are called flies.

You can select from several different fly fishing lures, also known as flies, that would work for special situations, different kinds of fish or different types of fishing. You have the option to either buy them at a commercial outlet or make them yourself. We advise having different varieties of lures to match the different fishing situations you may encounter. Take a few moments when getting on the river or stream to observe the types of insects that are around you. Take a small net like they use for goldfish and skim the top of the water. See what you collect inside and then use a lure that looks like the bugs in the net.

You will need to be observant about these insects because whatever you catch with your small net would be the food that the fish in this area normally feed on. This would help you catch more fish by replicating their food and luring them with what they would think is their next meal. Most fish aren't picky when it comes to their food as they would eat anything that appears near them, but if they are used to seeing a lot of flies above water, this increases their chances of getting lured in.

Keep your fly fishing lures as simple as possible. Regular fishing lures are often huge with all sorts of shiny danglers and bright colors. They may be intended to replicate food sources, but remember that fly fishing is about using natural food that is readily available to fish in a body of water. That being said, it's all about simplicity and dainty size.

Luring fish is a task that can be accomplished with different kinds of tools. But when you are fly fishing, lures become one of the most important tools you can have in your arsenal. Using the right lure, or fly, is so important. It can make a big difference between catching a ton of fish or just a few. Choose your lures carefully when fly fishing and reap the benefits!
