A Few Valuable Hints On Fishing And Much More

- Tip #85: Using a Landing Net

If you want to use a landing net you need to make sure to hold the net on the stream bed and lift it up as the fish swims over top of it. Most fish will be lost after they make their final rush if they are faced with a landing net that is being held vertically out in front of them. After all, you can't expect the fish to want to swim right into it! And if you hold the net from behind and try to sweep up the fish all will be lost. All it takes is one touch of the fish's tail and it will be gone.

Fish are known for their acute sense of vision. They are able to see in all types of water conditions and can see equally well during the day and night. The reason for this great sight is that fish have eyes that are able to adjust naturally to different conditions of light. No matter what the color of the water is they are able to rely on their vision to guide them. At those times when the vision of the fish is restricted, its other senses will kick in. This means that no matter where you hold that landing net the fish will be able to see it or sense it.

- Tip #39: Fishing Etiquette - The Right of Way

When it comes to fishing etiquette, the right of way is something that you'll need to learn. The rule of thumb is that the angler who is already in the water is given the right of way. The rule also applies if you're walking along the bank or floating. If you need to move locations try to move up-river whenever possible. You never want to intrude on another fly fisher without asking first. If you do get permission to enter the same waters make sure that you do so up-river and allow the other angler lots of space.

- Tip #68: Fly Fishing for Trout - When to Change your Fly

If you find that the trout aren't biting continue to use the same fly for about 15 minutes before you switch to another one. Keep up this pattern until you find a fly that works.

- Tip #95: On your Way to Experience

As a beginner fly fisher you'll want to focus on becoming more experienced. Following are some of the top tips for fly fishing from the experts:

- Using two lures on one line: If you're fishing in deep, clear water you may want to put two lures on one line. This is particularly good if you want to make a "vertical" presentation. You'll want to use a bell sinker as the weight for added impact. Make sure that you tie two hooks onto the fishing line a few feet apart from one another.

- Using a small spinner: There will be times when you want to attract fish by using sound and sight. At these times a small spinning blade is your best bet. Attach a small spinner to the end of a light weighted jig. This can be a very effective technique in colder waters.

- Two-handed pitch cast: When you're fishing in close quarters you might want to try a two-handed pitch cast. Holding the lure in your left hand, pull on your rod so that you bring the tip down just a bit. Give the rod a small tip flex and then swing up the tip at the same time that you let go of the lure. You should find that the lure moves in a low movement towards your target area.

- Minnow-shaped plugs: Try fishing with a small minnow-shaped plug which will float above the bottom and will dart just like a fish when you twitch the line.

- Tip #14: Lures - by the Experts

Following is a list of lures that are often recommended by the expert fly fishers that you one day want to match in skill:

- Spinnerbaits: Spinnerbaits are one of the most versatile of all fly fishing baits. This is because they can be used almost any time of the year in any type of weather or water condition. You'll also be able to use spinnerbaits in any type of cover.

- Crankbaits: Many professional fly fishers use crankbaits because they behave much as "bird dogs" when it comes to hunting for fish. This type of lure is great in deeper waters since it can dive deep. You'll want to use a rod that is between 6.5 and 7 feet if you want to use crankbait.

- Tube jigs: Tube jigs are great when you're fishing in clear water where the fish are inactive. These jigs have been designed to be used as drop bait. The tube jig is used most often in water that is ten feet or deeper.

- Vibrating lures: Vibrating lures are made of metal or plastic. They produce a tight vibration when they are pulled back in. This type of bait will sink fast and are best used in deeper waters.

- Jigging spoons: Jigging lures are called "structure lures" and are used most often by experienced fly fishers. These lures work very well in deep water when you are fishing for suspended bass. The jigging spoon is ideal when you're dealing with fish that are inactive due to water temperatures that are too hot or too cold.
