What is the ultimate fly fishing book?

admin on August 7th, 2010

The last two years Ive got into fly fishing.
What I am looking for now is a fly fishing book that will help me fish the proper fly for the time of season with retrieving tips etc.
I mostly fish scottish loch and dams with stocked rainbow and brownies in the hope of moving onto sea trout fishing and salmon if I get good at this.
It would also be helpful if I could find a book that will teach me new rig tying skills, ie how to tie fly line onto backing and how to tie a leader line onto fly line without using braided leaders.

Thanks in advance for your tips.

Here is a wonderful, informative website that caters to the flyfishing enthusiast from beginners to advanced anglers. Everything from casting methods to theory for the masters of the art. I spent a good deal of time looking over all the links and it is a very impressive website. It’s called Sexyloops Flycasting and though the name would imply otherwise it only deals with the art of flycasting.
Give it a look sometime:

fly fishing?

Any tips for things to do with new fly line before you put in on the spool anything to help with casting and performance

Pheasant tail has got it right you don’t need to do anything to them, especially not the old theory of stretching them before you use them, however some floating lines don’t have the end sealed and this can let water in causing them to be a sink tip, i add a tiny amount of superglue to the end and then add my braided loop, this prevents the tip form filling with water, as for every thing else there’s nothing to do unless its an intermediate that wont sink, at which point i will clean the line with degreasent, fullers earth mix works but there are types made by loon.

Fly fishing for bass?

admin on July 2nd, 2010

What is the proper way to fish with a popper?
Any good fly fishing tips will help also.

Poppers can be effective when used in a variety of ways. The fish will be the ones who establish how it should be used.

If you are talking Largemouth Bass:

Make your cast towards some cover, like lily pads, logs, docks, boats, anything that gives them some protection. On your first cast let it hit and do nothing for a count of 10 or so. Then give it a twitch, just once. Let it sit for another count of 10 or so. Strip in a foot of line. Let it sit. Make a couple more short strips. Try that a few times.

If the bass don’t like that then make your cast and immediately start stripping in the line in short 6 inch strips. Do that for 5 or 6 feet.

Just vary your strip and your pauses until you find the combination that the bass want that day. The next day it may be totally different.

For Smallmouth in a river, cast it towards shore (right up to the edge) or under an overhanging bush or low lying tree and start giving it short jerks or strips.

Something else you could try it they seem not to be very interested, is to tie on a large Woolly Bugger (black or olive or brown or white) about 2 feet behind the popper. It can’t weigh so much that it sinks the popper. The popper sound may attract the bass then they will see the ‘for sure’ meal of the Woolly Bugger and take it.

Just remember to open up your cast a bit with a larger loop when you are casting a dropper fly off of your main fly. Fluorocarbon tippet would be good to use for the dropper, just make it heavy enough to take on a bass. Expect a few messes as the leader and tippet wrap around each other every so often.

Good luck.
