- Tip #89: Sometimes it's best to do nothing
Fly fishing may seem like it's an active sport since you're always doing something, preparing something, and thinking about what you're going to be doing next. However, sometimes it's best to do nothing at all. Be patient, stand still, and just enjoy the experience. If you have to do anything, think about your top water patterns. The bottom line is that sometimes you have to wait to catch your fish.
- Tip #48: Take Along the Sun Block
Although it may seem like a small tip to mention, taking along the sun block is one thing that you don't want to forget. After standing in a sunny stream for eight hours you'll be glad that you remembered to bring along some protection.
- Tip #53: What is Essential Gear?
When it comes to fly fishing there is gear that is essential and gear that is less necessary. Focus on carrying essential gear that focuses on the day of fishing ahead. Listed below is essential gear:
- - A good rod that you can rely on.
- - A reel.
- - A variety of bait that you will be using that day.
- - A variety of flies and lures that you will be using that day.
- - A first aid kit.
- - A rain jacket.
- - A hat and sun block.
- - Extra clothing that you can wear and take off if you get too hot.
Listed below is non-essential gear:
- - A huge tackle box that is filled to the brim with all your lures, baits, and flies.
- - Things that you won't be using on that fishing day, such as the wrong line or reel.
- Tip #10: Cleaning your Fly Line
Keeping your fly line is essential to the performance of your fly fishing. Dirt will get on your line from algae that are found in the waters where you fish. Over time the dirt will get on your line and this can caused your line to become stripped down. You'll know when your fly line is too dirty because it won't float as well nor will it slide smoothly through the rod guides.
Cleaning your fly line is easy: use a cleaning pad that you can buy at most angling stores. Or you can also wash the fly line with a few drops of a mild soap (avoid detergents). Just rub the line gently with a damp cloth.
- Tip #51: Dress for the Weather
Wear the right type of clothing for the weather. You don't want to be caught in a rainstorm without protective gear. Remember that it's always easier to take off a layer of clothing than it is to be without anything to put on.
