A "Quick Start" Guide to Fly Fishing

Your new TV or computer to follow with a "Start Here" guide with great pictures and simple instructions. This is because no one reads manuals until they are in trouble and could no longer one to answer the 800 number. Fly fishing is no different. They do more research, but it helps the "Start Here" guide you to have in vest.

I want to tell you a "start here" guide to fly fishing. I hope you can get your waders and boots by itself, so I leave it alone dear. I'll start at the part where you are dressed.
There is always a good idea to get some local beta before you go. Fly shops, newspaper columns and radio shows to offer advice to large current. I would say they can offer you 80%. The remaining 20% ​​includes the changing conditions, which are now. Without this local knowledge to start from scratch.
To get the right combination of line, leader and fly you need to look at conditions on the river - not on the truck. It is tempting to setting up everything ahead of time, but it rarely gets you the right setup. I try to be prepared, but not repackaged and carry two spools, one with floating line and the other with an intermediate sink line. This gives me the opportunity to streamers with the intermediate layer sink line fish when I want.
We need to find out what the fish eat, or they will keep feeding and what they eat, before we can set ourselves. This is a great way to connect with nature, and that is why we are here. If you wanted only to catch fish, you would need a 6-pack and can of worms.
Clues as to what the fish is feeding up to and under water. Above the water view visible hatches or birds eat bugs. Dry flies are known in these conditions. Inspect the surface and see if there are errors on either new or on the film.
Feeding trout at or near the surface by waves or bumps on the clear water. Trout feeding just below the water is a large bulge for wet flies and emergers. Trout feeding on the surface is so waves with a dry fly here. If there is no apparent action on the surface, we must always deep with nymphs or streamers. Kick over some rocks and flying over the wreckage of a small aquarium net and see what crawls out. We now know what and where to eat the fish.
The water clarity is important. The clearer the water, the more the trout spook. Be careful on the approach and use a long thin leaders. Stained or discolored water requires a shorter leader.
Here is how I set up my line and leader now that I know the conditions. For dry flies, I use a floating line with a longer head (9-12 ') with a 6x tippet. For wet flies and nymphs, I will use a 7.5 "long with a 4x tippet leader. It is that simple.
If I can not figure out what will eat the fish and see no action, I go to a streamer. I fish these with intermediate sink line and a 7,5 'leader. The intermediate sink line gets the streamer to a fish. If you nymph fishing with a floating line with split shot on the leader. You get a bite alarms as well as need.
Watch the rivers flow and see if you can not see any seams. Watch for air bubbles or small debris on the road surface. Fish is right to hold against the current.
Follow these steps before you tie on your fly and your catch rate will increase.
