Is heavier better?

No, not necessarily. In fact, light fly fishing reels are more expensive and of higher quality. If two reels are the same in all other respects, go with the lighter one.

Does size really matter?

The larger your spool, the faster your line retrieval can be and the better line handling you will have. Also, you want your fly fishing reels to fit your hand comfortably.

Fly Fishing Reel

Single and ready to mingle?

Single action fly fishing reels are the most common and also the simplest. Multiplier fly fishing reels, on the other hand, can retrieve your line faster.

Automatic fly fishing reels is the easiest to use but the hardest to maintain. You simply need to flick a lever to retrieve your line.

Fly fishing is not a drag!

There are a few different types of drag systems that you can choose for your fly fishing reels. Why do you want drag? Because drag applies friction to the spool, it helps you in your casting and landing of fish.

If you want one of the best and most expensive types of fly fishing reels, then you can go with a disc drag system. With the disc drag, you get much efficiency. Most agree that if you are fishing for large, powerful, fighting fish, a drag system is the best.

Fishing Fly

Bass are ravenous eaters and known to eat prey up to half of their own length. Because bass swallow their prey whole, the size of bass fishing flies must be smaller than the width of the bass mouth.

The movement of fishing flies is critical to attracting the bass. When bass fishing, it’s important to use fishing flies with a strategic design and hook position.

top picks for bass fishing flies :

Deer Hair Popper:

Deer Hair Poppers are often referred to as the original fishing flies. Before the tying of fishing flies was commercialized in America, Native Americans bundled feathers and hair to create fishing flies to attract bass. These fishing flies are meant to float and wriggle on the surface and gain the attention of the bass below.

Deer Hair Mouse:

Deer Hair Mouse fishing flies are a tackle box staple for any bass fisher. Mice often take residence near the riverside and it only takes a slip or a strong win to render them helpless in the water. The bodies of these fishing flies are made of course deer hair tied around a large hook with a long flexible tail.

Swimming Frog:

Swimming frog fishing flies are designed to imitate the movements of the frog while swimming along the surface of the water. The swimming fishing flies frog is also made of deer hair and is colored in various shades of green. These fishing flies work well in areas where frogs naturally take residence.

Matuka Sculpin:

The olive colored matuka sculpin is a great fishing fly to use in streams with algae or weed covered bottoms. These fishing flies normally come in a gold option for lighter colored riverbeds and made from deer hair and turkey quill.

These fishing flies also need to be fast sinking and heavy enough to stay down and not float off the bottom.

With the right weather, the right fishing flies, and a little luck, a bass fishing trip can be one of the most satisfying fishing trips of the year.

There are many types of trout flies; dry flies normally have a high success rate and are favored by fishermen because they are easy to use. Dry flies float atop the water and are meant to imitate adult insects. Generally, it is simple to fool a trout using dry flies.

Trout Fly

The most important rule to follow when fly fishing with dry trout flies is to make sure that you do not have drag on your line. Make sure that you are allowing the fly to flow in harmony so that you can fool the fish and hopefully get a bite.

You will probably success using dry trout flies if you are casting upstream and allowing the fly to float naturally back down to you.

Applying a paste dressing to your dry trout flies will help them to float high on the water. Make sure you are aware of the eating habits of the trout where you are going to fish.

Whatever methods you employ with dry trout flies, as long as you are using the best fly for the environment and avoiding drag, you should set yourself up for catching many lunkers!

Fish Bait

Many of Americas anglers choose to use live fishing bait. Not only do they choose to use live fishing bait, but they choose to use one particular bait more than all the others. This variety of live bait is called the worm.

There are different species of worms, but the point is that when it comes to live fishing bait many anglers automatically think of the worm.

The interesting thing about using live worms as fishing bait is that most people use the same techniques when they were children.

Nowadays a bait bag can be employed to carry your live fishing bait (worms) while fishing. A bait bag is a beautiful system for anyone that uses live fishing bait, especially worms.

Most people grab a worm and thread it onto a large hook over and over again, thus creating what we called a worm ball. This is the technique that most anglers use for fishing a live worm.

If you use live fishing bait, a set of pre-tied gang hooks should be employed. Gone are the days of simply threading a worm onto a hook or creating a worm ball.

One of the best quotes that I ever heard about fishing was this, “anyone who does not know how to catch a fish, should not be able to disgrace a fish by catching it.” This quote goes for live fishing bait as much as it does about any fishing technique.

Pond Fish

All the things you have already learned that keeps your fish healthy just might make it easier to get started with your own Koi ponds or fish ponds. But even if you are a newbie it doesn’t take much to learn fish ponds success.

Of Course You Will Need To Do a Bit of Research.

Money is usually a limiting factor, so your research will help you understand how big you can go with your fish ponds without draining your bank account.

No one likes to be over crowded and neither do the fish you will put in your fish ponds, so don’t try to cram too many into the area you provide. It is said that each of your fish will require a minimum of one gallon of fresh water each in order to keep healthy and happy.

You should be sure you read up on how to build fish ponds before you start digging. Do you want rocks all around it or would you prefer to build your deck around it.

Which ever method you choose be sure you make the edge of your fish ponds safe for those on foot; they may not want to go for a swim if it’s not safe.

Think of Your Fish Ponds As Large Aquariums And You Will Do Fine.

Having fish in your fish ponds isn’t a whole lot different than having them in your aquarium. You still need to monitor them for health reasons and you still have to maintain the water conditions.

Do People Really Want or Need Fish Ponds?

Well designed fish ponds can actually add value to your home. As gardens are now seen as an additional room to your house a well laid out garden that comes complete with fish ponds is actually an asset that will encourage that potential buyer.

Birds love fish ponds especially if you have a shallow leader pond or waterfall. We can spend hours watching the birds ‘line up’ to take their turn in having a bath. It is hilarious to watch.

Do you need a hobby, somewhere to potter? If so designing and keeping fish ponds can be a very absorbing hobby. You may start out with a basic pond but I bet in time and with more knowledge this will turn into a fascination that will grow and grow.
