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 fly fish is with a dry fly, which floats on the water's surface. When you see fish rising than it's probably a good time to fish with a dry fly. It's important to try to match what the fish are feeding on. For some tips on how to choose the right fly check out this article. To get your fly to float well you will need some floatant such as Gink Dry Fly Floatant.
Taking a large fish on dry fly is one of the greatest experiences you can have when fishing. However, the strike is only the beginning. Large fish are much tougher to land on fly rod, which is why you need a reel with a good drag such as the Ross Airius or Orvis Battenkill.
The second form of fly fishing is called nymph fishing. When insects lay eggs in a river or lake, the eggs hatch out as nymphs, and make their way to the surface where they hatch into a fly. Therefore, nymph fishing utilizes imitations of different nymphs that are weighted to stay below the surface of the water. This is often the most effective way to fly fish as 90% of feeding occurs below the water's surface.
The rod is the fly fisherman's most important piece of equipment, and should be chosen with care. A good rod is necessary to cast well as well as to battle the fish. Some rods to look into are the Sage Xi2, the G. Loomis Nativerun GLX Fly Rod and the Sage Z Axis.
