I was put off of fly fishing for years simply because I thought it would be too hard to learn. There is so much hype about casting a fly with a fly rod, different actions and movements that it all sounds too complicated for the poor beginner. Well the art of casting a fly is in truth really quite simple, and with a few beginner fly fishing techniques just about anyone can do it. With fly fishing your aim is to cast your fly and have it land naturally on the water so that it attracts fish. The main problem with this is that you have no weight on the end of your line to propel it to where you want it to go. Instead you are using a heavy main line with a short piece of very light line attached, onto...

When fly fishing, many anglers prefer to catch and release their fly fishing prizes. Still, what should you do when you're the prize? That's Gotta Hurt If you become a fly fishing fanatic, you will inevitably hook yourself one day. Of course, this has never happened to me, but my "friends" have done it repeatedly. Being a thoughtful and observant person, I've seen how they go about unhooking themselves from a fly. Again, this is never happened to me. Ever. No, I won't take a lie detector test. The Barb The best hook removal method depends on the location of the hook barb. The barb is the part of the hook that keeps the hook from simply sliding back out of the fish or, in this case, you. The...

There is plenty of room for all comers; Marion covers 110,000 acres while Moultrie weighs in at 60,400 acres. Now, these lakes weren't always what they are now. As a matter of fact, they were not there at all. They were created when the Santee River and the Cooper River were dammed. This occurred in the 1940s and as little as twenty years later the lakes had already gained a reputation as a crappie fishing hot spot.

I felt a feeling of excitement as I stepped onto the charter boat. Would this be the time? Would I finally get my Salmon? Every time I had been out deep sea fishing I didn't even get a bite. The arguments have been flying around for years as to why the Salmon have gotten so rare. I haven't been paying too much attention to these arguments. I have to admit that I am selfish and just want to catch my Salmon. My day started at 6:00 AM, when our windup alarm went off in our tent. Our little party consisted of me, my dad, and my Uncle Bob. We had set up our tent in a public campground only a couple of miles from the harbor of Garibaldi, Oregon. Garibaldi is a small town situated on the Tillamook Bay...

I have had the pleasure of fishing for salmon in Alaska. It was a thrilling experience! To see 3 feet long Silver's in a stream surrounded by 10,000+ foot mountains is something you dream about. If you have fished for salmon anywhere and they are spawning you know they aren't all that easy to catch as they aren't feeding only intent onrunning up stream to their spawning spot. So it takes some patience and good timing as well as knowing where and when they are running. But for any fisherman, this is one of the ultimate experiences! Here are a few tips: Your First Pole: The most important piece of equipment is a fishing pole of course! The best place to purchase a pole is at a real pro shop or bait...

When you are fly fishing, tying the right knots can make a world of difference in your success or failure. It's important to not only select the right knot for the situation but also to tie it properly. Poorly tied knots will mean lost fish and frustration for you, so knowing about the right knots and how to tie them can be a huge part of the fly fishing experience. Before you tighten a knot, moisten it with saliva or with water you are fishing on. This will help the knot slide and seat properly. Lubrication also decreases excessive heat which can weaken the monofilament. Heat is generated by friction created when the knots are drawn up tight. Moistening the knot will reduce this heat and...

Because crappie is a plentiful species of fish in several areas of the country and great fishing can be found almost year round, there are crappie fishing contests somewhere almost every weekend of the year.

Often, some of the earliest events of the year can be found in Florida, where weather is warm year-round in the tropical southern part of the state. Here, you may find contests referred to as "super events" as early in the year as February. Early March...

I always tell my friends or students what my father used to tell me "If you want to get started in any activity, go where that people get their stuff". If you are into fishing, go to a fishing store and look around, ask questions and look for the "ad wall" and you will find lots of information and people who can teach you. But what if you can't find someone to teach you or if you are just curious about it? There is always a way to start called "instructional videos". You can find some of them in VHS, but now mostly all of them are now in DVD. It was in the mid 80's when I was a fairly good playing the bass (the instrument, not the fish) when these videos started to be popular in music instruction...

Fly fishing a stream is unique in that there are many factors that go into success. Water conditions, temperatures, fly choice and so on all come to mind.

One of my favorite pastimes is fishing. I enjoy getting out on the open water, free from daily worries and not having a care in the world except hooking up with a big trout or redfish. You just can't beat heading out into the back bays, trolling along a shoreline, sneaking up on a school of reds with their tails out of the water ready to strike at the first thing they see that looks like a tasty meal; hopefully my lure. On the other hand, not everyone has a boat or a friend that has a boat, and getting to the fish may seem almost impossible. Good news... There are many piers along the gulf coast that serve as a home to just about any species of fish that lurk the inshore waters, and...

During the day, it's easier to see where you're casting, and what is in front and to the side of you. The water is easy to observe to see its behavior, to give you clues as to where the fish might be, as well as helping you locate bushes and logs. At night, however, it's a little bit more of a challenge. Fly fishing at night...

Fishing is a fun and tranquil sport that lets you spend quiet time with your friends, family and with Mother Nature.

During the time that you are in your favorite sporting goods store, you can look...

It was one of those fishing trips. You know, everyone catches fish but you, you loose six or eight of your most expensive streamers, it rains buckets, and you sink the boat. That's right; I got skunked at Steamboat Lake over Memorial weekend. I was determined to show those meat huckers (worms and power bait) that a well chosen and strategically placed fly was as effective as anything a conventional fisherman could load on a hook and hang under a bobber. Well, no such luck, I got stomped. The fish were rising like mad on a midge hatch, and I threw everything in the box at them. I could swear I saw a hefty rainbow nudge my fly to the side to eat the natural laying only centimeters from my damn near...

In the state of Texas, 2 licenses are needed. The first is called the Conservation license. This is a prerequisite a person must have before being allowed to obtain a fishing license. The Conservation license can be obtained from the Fish, Wildlife & Parks or FWP. This is done by giving one's social security number and other information that is requested. A valid driver's license or any valid ID with photo must also be presented for security purposes for the license to be processed. Once that is done, a fishing license can be acquired which is neither non-transferable nor non-refundable and is only valid for one year. Fish that are normally caught in Texas are flounder, trout and sheepshead. Here...

General salmon information and fishing tips: 1. Generally, the best times of the day are during the times when there is low light and so too, on cloudy days. On bright and sunny days, salmon will usually collect and assemble deep in the holes. 2. Take note that salmon do not feed while in the river. When they do strike, it is a behavior that is learned. Salmons are known to be predatory and aggressive when in the lake, up until they go into the river. 3. Set the hook by yanking downstream with your rod three times. To get a better set, pulling on the line with your free hand can help. Sometimes, when you lift the rod straight up, it will pull the fly out of the mouth of the salmon. 4. In order for...

There is no other feeling that equals the sheer excitement of hooking into and landing or releasing a steelhead trout. If you are looking to increase your chances of hooking into a steelhead, below are a few techniques that might work for you: 1: Some steelhead fishermen will say that the best way to fish for them is to drift the tail-out of pools. This is where steelies like to be located because the water is a little more shallow and they can intercept anything that comes their way. When drifting, bounce your lure or fly along the bottom and be sure to set the hook at the slightest change in the speed or feel of the line. Using this technique will cause you to sometimes snag something like a...

There is no better time of the year to fish than the fall in my opinion. Fishing in the fall has always been my most productive time of the year as well. I'm not sure of the scientific reason for this, but it's always seemed to me that the fish are "stocking up" on food before the really cold weather sets in. At least this is how it seems in the rivers and streams of the west. Once the really cold weather sets in, the fishes metabolism slows to a point that they simply don't eat as much (which obviously means that catching them is that much more difficult). This is surely how it seems to be in the rivers and streams, which is why fishing in the fall (before the really cold weather) is so...
