Dirty fly line is a recipe
for bad casting. So clean your line to
provide for better casts and
longer fly line life. Fly lines need
to be cleaned for best
casting. Additionally, by cleaning your
fly lines, you'll greatly
extend the life of the line - saving
you money as well as time and
hassle in changing out the line.
And if you fly fishing for larger
fish that have a tendency to
pull out large amounts of fly line,
don't forget about chaning
out your fly line backing occasionally,
too.
Fly Rods :
A fly rod is a crucial piece of
equipment for fly fishing. A poor
quality or wrong type of fly rod
is a wonderful way to
potentially ruin an otherwise fine day spent
fly fishing. Having
the right fly rod can make all the difference
between putting
fish in the net and coming away skunked. Now days
the art of
making fly rods has become so good that if you buy any
rod for
$100.00 or more will cast better than most anglers can with
it..
keep in mind that buying a more expensive rod will not make
you a
better caster, only learning to cast will do that.
So,
my point is this, if there is anyplace that an angler should
not
skimp on when putting together a fly fishing outfit, it is
the fly
rod. A good fly rod often makes the difference between
precise
casts and casts that are just wide of the mark. It makes
the
difference between being able to reach that rising trout and
being
just a few yards short. But also, keep in mind that
practice
casting also helps one become an expert angler. Having
said that
lets move on to choosing the right Fly rod.
Choosing the Right
Fly Rod
Although there is a common belief that if you spend
more on fly
fishing gear, youll get more. There are two sides to
this
story. As with anything else you purchase, there is value
and
there is perceived value. Simply put, value is what you
actually
get out of the money you spend and perceived value is what
you
think you will get out of it. Whatever you decide is up to
you
and what you can afford. My personal favorite is cabelas, I
included the link for you to take a look. I am not advertising
them, I only want you to take a look as a point of reference, and
check out as many other places as you like, but find one you like
and one that fits comfortably in your hand.
Dont be
intimidated by all the special terminology used by fly
fishermen.
For the most part, the terms are there for a reason
and will help
you be more specific when narrowing down your
decisions and your
gear.
Your first piece of sporting equipment should be your
fly rod.
Fly fishing is much easier and much more enjoyable when
your fly
rod is properly matched to the type of fishing you will be
doing.
The two main considerations you must think about are the
length
of the rod and the weight of the fly line. Fly line weight
can
be described as the diameter and density of the line. For
optimal performance, it must match the fly rod you will be using.
Here is a general guideline to help you choose the proper fly
rod.
Fly Rod Length
For fishing tight spots such as
small streams and creeks with
overhanging brush and minimal casting
space, a shorter rod in the
6 76 class is ideal for these
conditions. A shorter rod
will make your day much more enjoyable
and allow you to
effectively fish these areas without donating too
many flies to
Mother Nature.
Medium length rods in the 8
8 ½ range can be used on
medium-sized streams and small rivers or
any time when long
distance casts are not the norm. These rods can
still be used on
larger, more open waters, but dont expect to
achieve maximum
casting performance to reach those rise forms
across the river.
In situations when long casts are required,
such as fishing large
rivers, fishing from a float tube, or fishing
from the shore, a
longer rod is necessary. Longer rods also make
mending your line
a much easier task. This is true because the
longer rods will
allow you to hold more line off the water. For
float tube
fishing or deep wading, a 9 rod is needed to cast
effectively
because of your low position in the water. Many float
tubers
even opt for longer rods in the 96 10 lengths. The
more
line you can hold off and away from the water, the better
you
will be able to pick up line and cast.
Who else wants to pull in a bounty of big fish - Every time!
Here's
how to AMAZE your friends (and maybe even make them
a little bit
jealous) In 'Fly Fishing Secrets' we show you how.
