A
good
wade
fisherman
is
like
a
sharpshooter
that
applies
all
focus
to
their
target
and
ignores
everything
else.
Unfortunately,
many
anglers
use
the
more
of
a
shotgun
approach
when
wade
fishing
and
try
to
scour
a
creek
or
river
by
spraying
casts
in
every
direction.
Many
fly
fisherman
quickly
begin
to
learn
that
most
trout

Are
you
looking
for
a
good
Christmas
present
for
the
fly
fisherman
in
your
life?
Shopping
for
someone
who
likes
fly
fishing
is
easy
as
fly
fishermen
always
need
newer
or
better
gear!
If
you
are
anything
like
me
then
you
are
already
thinking
about
what
to
get
your
friends
and
family
for
Christmas.
I

Be
Sure
To
Clean
Your
Fly
Fishing
Line
Keeping
your
fly
line
clean
is
important
to
maximize
your
line's
performance.
Dirt
will
get
on
your
line,
and
over
time
this
can
cause
your
line
to
become
stripped
down.
You'll
know
when
your
fly
line
is
dirty
when
it
doesn't
float
as
well
and
it's
not
sliding
as
smoothly
through
the
rod...

#5:
Tying
Effective
Fishing
Knots
That
Won't
Break
Or
Unravel
Very
few
knots
will
ever
be
at
100%
of
the
rated
strength
for
a
line.
There
are
many
good
fishing
knots.
I
always
use
the
improved
clinch
knot,
however,
there
are
others
that
are
just
as
effective.
One
thing
that
you
should
keep
in
mind
is
that
you
should

#4:
Keep
Your
Dry
Flies
Floating
Longer
One
way
that
you
can
keep
your
dry
flies
floating
higher
and
longer
on
top
of
the
water
is
by
waterproofing
them.
Take
a
can
of
Scotch-Guard,
the
same
stuff
that
you
use
to
protect
your
furniture,
and
spray
the
flies
that
you
plan
to
take
fishing
with
you
on
your
next
fishing
trip.
Let
them
dry...

How
To
Fight
A
Strong
Fish
If
you
hook
in
to
a
big
fish
whether
you
land
it
or
not
is
going
to
depend
on
both
your
technique
and
your
equipment.
Also...
some
luck
helps
too.
We
have
all
had
big
fish
wrap
themselves
around
a
rock
and
snap
our
line
so
luck
is
always
a
factor.
The

for

How
to

Rod
There
are
many
factors
that
go
into

the

One
of
the
first
things
that
you

Tip
#1:
Practice
Your
Casting
For
Accuracy
and
Distance
To
become
a
good
fly
caster
you
need
to
develop
good
technique
and
then
practice,
practice
and

some
more.
Practice

Traditional
flyfishing
involves
fishing
for
trout
or
salmon
in
coldwater
lakes
and
rivers.
However,
warmwater
fly
fishing
for
bass
and
carp,
as
well
as
saltwater
fly
fishing
is
getting
more
and
more
popular.
There
are
different
types
of
fly
fishing.
The
best
known
and
the
most
classic
way
to

I
was
picking
up
some
flies
at
Sportsman's
Warehouse
today
and
a
guy
who
was
brand
new
to
fly
fishing
asked
for
some
recommendations
as
to
which
flies
he
should
get.
It's
important
for
beginner
fly
fishermen
to
understand
the
basic
types
of
flies
as
well
as
how
to
fish
them.

If
you
have
been
fly
fishing
for
long
I
am
sure
that
you
have
picked
up
on
the
following
two
points:
1.
Sometimes
the
biggest
fish
can
be
caught
using
the
smallest
flies.
2.
Sometimes
to
hook
a
lot
of
fish
you
have
to
fish
extremely
fine
tippet,
especially
in
clear
water
or
in
areas

My
favorite
place
to
go
fly
fishing
in
the
Jemez
Mountains
of
northern
New
Mexico
is
the
main
stretch
of
the
Jemez
River.
Anywhere
above
the
town
of
Jemez
Springs
is
good.
Parts
of
this
river
hold
a
lot
more
deep
holes
and
really
fishable
water
than
others.
You
want
to
find
a
stretch
ideally
that
has
a

of
deep
holes
and
cuts.

How
To
Cast
A
Fly
Fishing
Rod
-
Keys
To
Successful
Casting
There
are
several
keys
to
successfully
casting
a
fly

rod:
1.
Keep
your
motion
smooth,
not
jerky.
2.
Keep
in
mind
that
you
are
casting
the
weight
of
the
line,
it
is
not
the
weight
of
the

that

Most
fly
fishermen
get
started
fishing
freshwater
and
many
never
give
saltwater
a
shot.
Saltwater
fly
fishing
is
growing
increasingly
popular
and
is
one
of
the
most
exciting
types
of
fishing
that
one
can
engage
in.
One
of
the
reasons
that
I
like
fly
fishing
saltwater
is
that
lots
of
the
time
you
never
know
what
you
are
going
to
catch.
