Fly Fishing - Flies and Fly Tying Supplies
Fly Fishing is a specialized technique for catching
fish where the bait, which typically looks like a fly,
is presented to the fish. The idea behind fly
fishing is designed to appear to the fish as if a bug
has landed on the top of the water or slightly
below the waters surface to entice a strike. The
goal is to try to find a fly that matches the hatch or bait fish in the area.
Fly Fishing - Types of Flies
In fly fishing, the fly is the bait that you use to entice the fish to strike. There
really are thousands of different flies on the market, though they usually fall into
three different types of flies. The most common types of flies are Dry flies,
Nymphs, and Streamers.
Dry Flies are the most widely used. They are designed to present on top the water
and mimic a fly or bug landing on the surface of the water to entice a fish to
strike.
Nymphs are designed to float just below the surface of the water to mimic a
water invertebrate.
Streamers are designed to mimic a small fish or other aquatic life, like baitfish,
crayfish, leeches, and large aquatic insects like hellgrammites.
It is important to match the type of fly you use to the water conditions, location
and type of fish that you are trying to catch. You can usually get good
information on what types of flies to use at local bait stores in the area you are
going to fish, or a little online research in a fishing forum, or other online
research.
