Fly Fishing…

I’ve personally found that one of the most relaxable and enjoyable hobbies that a man can have is fly fishing. If you are an outdoors kind of guy, and like the solitude, give fly fishing a try. Fly fishing isn’t an expensive sport to start, and almost every age group will enjoy it.

Fly fishing requires more patience then the usual worm or live bait fishing. For the most effective results, learn what the fish are feeding on first. Then use the fly that resembles what the fish are looking to eat. I like to fly fish in deep, calm pools where salmon and trout are apt to be laying. A good tip to remember is not to cast your shadow and prevent you from getting as many bites. From experience I have learned that fish are not stupid or blind especially in West Wickham. No matter where you are fishing from, a boat or wading down a shallow stream, always try to cast your line into the fast moving water. Salmon and trout like to stay in the fast moving water because there is plenty of oxygen. Fly fishing using a ‘wet fly’ will allow you’re fishing fly to partly sink down in the water coming in visual contact with the fish. If you’re using a fly that the fish is interested in taking hold of, you could be in for a fun battle. A ‘dry fly’ will float on top of the water, so a fish will have to rise up for it. This is called a ‘role’ for the fly. Having a good quality lightweight graphite rod and the right reel are the most important pieces in fly fishing.
