On Outdoors: Fly-fishing great for trout, but other fish will bite, too

Let's look at a few fly fishing tips. If you are new to the sport, you need to understand that there are some prescribed ways to fly fish. There are many traditions attached to the sport, and you need to learn how to fish well, but also some etiquette. So it's more than just getting out there with your bamboo fly rod.

Common courtesy dictates that you take your line out of the water for any angler who has a fish on the line. This is so that they have plenty of space in order to land their fish. This rule is very important if you’re fishing down-river from the other angler. Make sure that you never step into the space of an angler who is releasing or landing a fish on the bank.

Whenever you’re fly fishing you’ll need to be as quiet as you can…and this means leaving your dog and the radio at home. There are two reasons why you want to be as quiet as possible: (1) you don’t want to spook the fish, and you don’t want to disturb other fly fishers. Many people enjoy fly fishing for the peace and solitude that it affords them.

Always be willing to help out other anglers. This can be as simple as helping them retrieve something that has floated down-river or lending them something that they need, such as extra line. You’re all there for a fun day of fly fishing so helping each other out just lends to the experience.

When you’re wading make sure that you follow a few basic rules. Never fish by yourself on remote lakes, rivers, or streams, wear a good pair of wading boots. Use a good wading staff that is flexible yet strong, and know the area where you’re wading. Wading is a great way to get access into those places that you couldn’t otherwise reach.

A tackle box is a necessity so that you can keep all your “stuff” with you in one organized place. Some of the things to keep in mind when you use a tackle box and want to avoid overfilling them. Buy two or more small tackle boxes to hold certain categories of lures. Buy seasonal tackle boxes that you only use at certain times of year.

If you use a fishing vest to carry around your tackle and lure you’ll want to keep it as organized as you can so that you’re not fumbling around looking for something when you need it. If you’re not going to be using something leave it home so that you only take along the essentials.

Lastly, don't forget to invest in a good pole. For many a bamboo fly rod is the top of the line. But don't fret, you can find a cheap bamboo fly rod for sale if you do some research on the internet.
