There is no end to the varieties of fishing that exist. One very fulfilling method of fishing is fly fishing. One benefit of fly fishing is that you get to visit regions that are untouched by the modern world - some of nature's most breathtaking areas. You also have the choice of fly fishing in fresh water or salt water. This report will give you some information on the essential skills you will need to be a successful fly fisher, as well as the basic equipment that is necessary.
It goes without saying that the clothes and personal items you choose for your fishing expedition are very important - second only to your fishing tackle. Your foot gear must be thought about seriously. Keeping your feet from getting wet when you have to walk in the water is important and the best thing to wear is a heavy-duty pair of wading boots. A fishing vest is the next piece of clothing that you will find extremely handy. They have numerous pockets to store the fishing tackle you will most likely be needing as you fish. You will love the convenience of having tackle - flies, lures, hooks - in a pocket of your vest when you want them instead of returning to shore to search through your box of tackle. A full brimmed fishing hat, as well as a good pair of polarized sunglasses, are accessories that will not only improve your ability to see clearly, but will provide protection from the inconsistencies of the weather.
You should always follow proper fishing etiquette, whether you're fishing close to home or somewhere far away that you may never return to. Make sure you have permission to fish in a location, and if you're not sure if a certain spot is privately owned or not, don't fish there until you find out. Don't fish in the same area as someone else, unless they give you permission, but respect that they were there first. Remember that the nice thing to do is always go up the river, away from the people who are already fishing in the area. Wherever you are fishing, never leave anything behind; you should leave the spot looking pretty much the same as you found it.
Not everybody gets good results when fly fishing, so you might try nymph fishing when the usual methods aren't working.
The flies sit on top of the water in fly fishing, and the fish come out of the water, but the bait is under the water in nymph fishing. Nymphs live underwater, when they are insects that are in the stage of being developed. Since trout feed a lot of these insects that are beneath the water, you can understand why this kind of fly fishing can catch so many fish. You can purchase lures that are made for this purpose, and you'll want to use a heavier hook and perhaps an added weight that will keep it underwater for a longer period of time. Some people pick up fly fishing faster than others, but don't be concerned, because there is a lot to learn. You can try to experiment on your own, but the best way to get started is to take lessons, or at least have someone experienced show you the basics. For the rest of your life you can be fascinated by fly fishing, after you try it and become addicted to it.
