- Tip #15: Using Dry Flies in the Afternoon
If you're fly fishing in the afternoon you'll want to use dry flies. The main reason for this is that the sun will be warming the water and the air. And this means that you'll see hatches of little black flies. This is a great time to do some dry fly fishing since you can present a fly that is similar to an adult insect.
- Tip #75: Fly Fishing for Trout - Identifying Pools
Pools will be darker than other areas of the river or stream. They have a much smoother current. The water will be slow moving and deep over a bottom that is composed of sand, small gravel, or silt. You'll find medium to large trout in pools during the midday.
Fishing for fish in natural lakes can be all the way from good to excellent. The success that you have will often depend on what part of the country the lake is located. For instance, the southern states have natural lakes that are quite shallow.
Many smaller sized natural lakes have a circular shape. You'll want to focus your fishing strategy close to the shore where there are weeds and rocks. Larger lakes, in particular those lakes in the north, will often have great places for trout to school. This can include islands, weed flows, natural reefs, and deep holes. One thing to keep in mind when it comes to northern natural lakes is that they are often infertile. This means that although the water is very clear it doesn't contain large amounts of algae or plankton, and thus lack a great deal of oxygen.
