Fly Fishing for Trout
Fly fishing for trout is the most popular form of fly fishing. Most fly fishing techniques were developed for fly fishing for trout.
Approximately 90% of the trout feed on the bottom of a river/stream or lake; and only come to the surface when there is something large enough to eat. During the summer months, anglers should always be prepared with the right flies to match any circumstance.
Dry Fly Fishing is done with the line and flies that float, using a tapered leader, which is placed between the fly at the end of the leader next to the line. Even though most of the trout feed on the bottom, the number of trout that come to the surface is still enough to keep most anglers very busy. This type of Fly Fishing is considered to be the purest form of fishing.
In some situations anglers wade into the water to fish giving them a better chance. During these months nymph fishing may be more productive. The inactivity of surface insects is less, sending the trout to go deeper to find food. Therefore, nymph flies can be weight at the leader.
When river fishing, trout tend to face upstream in order to watch for food as it gets washed downstream. They tend to stay under trees when there by the bank. When fishing a river start upstream moving very slowly; allowing the fly to drift down stream for a couple of casts. Trout usually shelter behind underwater features out of the current waiting for food.
In cooler water, trout tend to bunch together and may be lured to bite on a streamer fly. Anglers should use a technique of casting out and slowly moving the line from left to right, back and forth to give the fly a more enticing action.
Trout not only like to stay around rocks; they also like weed beds and drop-offs. If the angler should see anything such as these, they should cast ahead of the trout and slowly pull the fly back into the trout’s area.
Fly Fishing for trout, is different from cast fishing, where the line on the cast rod is usually already tight; with fly rods there is always some extra line between the index finger, the thumb, and the reel.
So the angler is actually catching the trout while holding the line in their hands, until the trout hits the fly and the angler pulls on the line with the hand that is holding the extra line, to sink the fly hook, at the same time letting the extra line go.
