The first step on your journey to become a great fisherman is to know what things you may need and what the local laws of fishing are in your area . It is also important to learn about the different types of flies you can use as well as which fly fishing accessories you will need and what places are the best for fly-fishing adventures. If you have been trout fishing you have a definite advantage.
Most beginning fly-fishermen start with a rod of about 6 in weight and 8 to 9 feet in length. It should have a stiff action to it as this lets you use it not only in rivers, but dams and bring in the larger fish when needed. If the currents tend to lean toward the stronger side a move up to a 8 weight can be used instead of the 6.
Choosing a reel is fairly easy for introducing yourself into this sport. There are three different kinds, but the single action one is what you will need first. Its the easiest reel to learn to use and remember all reels for this sport should include drag that is adjustable. This helps you bring your fish to the bank.
Picking out your line for your rod has to be in the same weight as the rod weight chosen for the best outcome. Do not place regular mona-filament line on fly rods, use the much stronger ones with Dacron cores inside them. Next will be the tippet and the leader the last two items added to your rod and reel setup.
The leader you decide upon should not be too heavy or to light for the best results. The tippet should be able to allow for the drift of the current naturally and be strong enough to withstand these currents and hold the fish once on your line. You can look for leaders that include all you need at most sportsman stores and online.
Now on to the bait you will need called flies. There are many varieties for you to choose from but the three main ones to learn are of the saltwater, wet and dry kind. Saltwater flies are only used in the sea because they have a likeness to the small crustaceans and other creatures the larger fish eat to fool them.
Some popular types are the permit, the crazy charlie and the deceiver. The dry ones are used on the waters surface mimicking insects which light on the water surface. This is the best choice for you if your starting out. A few of the most used ones include the hopper, the r. A. B and may flies.
The last one, the wet type is used underneath the water and on the very bottom. Wet flies also look like grasshoppers, and other insects which land on the surface of the water and make for excellent fishing especially in streams and rivers. Popular wet flies many fishermen use are the invicta, the hendrickson and the pheasants tail.
This is one of the most loved fishing sports today and being sure you have everything you need on hand ensures a day of fun and relaxation. On your vest you should place tippets, needle nose pliers, repellent for insects, leaders, boxes for your flies, net, thermometer and split-shots. You will also have room for some much needed mid afternoon snacks and make sure not too forget sunscreen as well. Have fun and if you don't catch a great deal the first time out there is always tomorrow.
