I came across these tips today thought you all
might enjoy them

1. When accessing and fishing water that
others are or will be using, be careful not to cause distractions that will
spoil the peace and harmony of the experience.
2. To discourage biting insects avoid wearing clothing that is black, navy blue, yellow, red or white because these colors can attract mosquitoes, black flies, deerflies and gnats. 3. Since most fish you catch flyfishing have sensitive mouth and gill parts and often some form of sharp teeth, avoid putting your fingers into their mouths to hold them or remove the fly.
5. To make nearly any knot almost 100% strength, coat it with Zap-A-Gap cement before you tighten it completely. 6. Unless you are extremely patient, think twice before attempting to teach your spouse how to flyfish. It's usually best to have a friend or instructor do so if you truly want them to learn to love the sport. 7. To tie neater and stronger flies, use the smallest practical tying thread, as few wraps as possible and apply only small amounts of cement to the hook materials and thread connections. 8. Fish detect your presence as much or more by hearing than by seeing you, so walk or wade slowly and softly, and wear soles that don't emit harsh sounds against gravel and rock bottoms if possible. 9. At the end of a natural drift with a nymph, soft hackle or dry fly, allow your fly to swing around and hang in the current for 30 seconds � this often brings a bonus strike.
