The seasons and the conditions of the water that you are fishing can call for different types of flies, and also check for the trouts natural prey it feeds on in the area that you fishing. By seeing what they feed in a particular area you can eliminate different flies. Also depending on the clarity of the water you can choose the colors of the flies to use, for dark merky water you want to use a brighter colored fly, and for clearer water use a darker colored fly.
The most famous known fly is the Royal Coachman. The patterns for this calls for a tail of golden pheasant tippets, fore and aft the the fly wound Palmer- style is peacock herl, red silk floss for the body, brown saddle hackles, and wings of white duck quill feathers. The Royal Coachman is world famous.
All trout fisherman need a wide assortment of flies in their tackle box so that you can switch up and try different ones to see what the trout are feeding on. You need streamers, dry and wet flies, nymphs and some specialty flies. Most flies are used to imitate a real insect, you really should consider the insects that populate the area that you are going to be fishing and do some studying on them, this will increase you chances of catching trout by choosing the fly that best imitates their natural prey.
Nymph are used to imitate the larva that hatches from the eggs that the flies lay in the water. This can also be used to catch trout if you choose the proper nymph. That goes back to studying the insects in the area that you will be fishing. When the nymphs are ready to under go the changes to become a fly , they will float on the surface of the water and insects feel the air, the trout will be in a feeding frenzy. This is the best time to be fishing.
You really need to just do a little studying on the habitat of the trout and its natural prey to figure out the different types of flies to use. Good luck and happy fishing.

French Fishing Flies (Hardcover) $34.21 Cul de Canard (Duck`s Rump), Farefelue (The Crazy One), Plantureuse (Buxom Gal), Peute (The Ugly One)-the names are deliciously French but one would make a terrible mistake to think that only French-born trout like these fishing flies. "Design," said Datus Proper, "is why this book has as much to do with the Henry`s Fork as with the Risle." At least one of the flies introduced by French Fishing Flies more than twenty-five years ago, the Cul de Canard, has long since become a true staple in fly boxes around the world. Others will surely follow. This fascinating book is bound to be of great interest to fly fishermen everywhere. |
