Here is another set of good tips I found
today enjoy

1. We strongly recommend knotless tapered
leaders over knotted tapered leaders for most fresh water fly fishing
because you will have fewer casting tangles and your leader won't catch on
structure and debris in the water.
2. The weight-forward floating flyline is the most practical and versatile choice for your first flyline and a weight-forward sinking tip flyline is the second line that you will probably want to own. 3. A new subsurface fly will catch more fish if the human and chemical smells are deodorized by rubbing it with underwater plants or muck. 4. Polarized glasses and a long-billed or wide-brimmed hat are two of the most important items you can use as a fly fisher to improve your fishing and your personal safety. 5. Fish fear movement above the water much more than they do below the water's surface. 6. The Duncan Loop Knot (also called uniknot) is the most functional knot we know for tying most types of flies onto the leader. 7. 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 process. 8. To release a fish with minimum harm to it, use a barbless hook and try not to remove the fish from the water as you remove the hook. 9. To approach fish you will be casting to without alerting them, avoid wearing clothes that are brightly colored or contrast sharply with the background. 10. More flyrods are broken by doors than by fish or casting! |
