Tips For Improving Your Fly Fishing Techniques

October 21st, 2011 | Fly Fishing Guide | No Comments »

While fly fishing is considered to be one of the most relaxing hobbies you’ll ever engage in, there is still a certain amount of skill necessary in order to be successful.  You might have heard so much about the cast and about tying your own flies and may wonder how to really improve your fly fishing techniques in order to improve your catch overall.  There are just a few simple things you can remember in order to make your time on the water a more enjoyable experience and to just plain old catch more fish; let’s review these few simple things to remember about your fly fishing techniques. Being gentle with your cast is important and probably the most important of all fly fishing techniques.  Many anglers make the mistake of trying to force their cast the way you do with typical fishing.  Remember that you’re not trying to reach too far ahead of you and certainly don’t want to sink your bait the way you do with typical fishing.  Your goal is to just skim or flit your fly over the top of the water.  You also want to remember that with fly fishing, the fly is virtually weightless and the line is heavy, so the line pulls the fly and not the other way around.  If you give your line just the slightest bit of direction you’ll see how it pulls the fly behind it and how the fly then skims the water.  Practice your cast as part of your fly fishing techniques as much as you can.  You can stand in the yard and just use a line without a fly.  Aim for about ten or fifteen feet in front of you and keep practicing until you can hit it perfectly.

Fly Fishing Oregon's Fall River

You may not have seen an uglier imitation of a natural bug in your life, and hopefully you never will. In fact, the world’s leading entomologist would’ve had a hard time determining what I was trying to duplicate with this fly. It was by far the sloppiest attempt at the traditional elk hair caddis pattern to date. Purely an exercise in beginning fly tying, and one of the first to come off of my assembly line known as a vice.
