The purpose of this article is to assist the beginner fly fishing. The terms used and the basic methods used in fly fishing may be unfamiliar to the beginner at fly fishing, so we will commence from the very beginning. Therefore, if you are a beginner fly fishing person, please read on in order to become acquainted with fly fishing.
The things needed for fly fishing are generally known as tackle, although if you want to be more accurate about the type of tools you need, you can add the words “fly fishing”. So, you get the phrase: “fly fishing tackle”. Fly fishing gear basically comprises artificial flies, a fly rod, a fly reel and fly line. The set-up is: the fly is attached to the line, which is wound around the reel, which is attached to the rod, which is used to cast the bait (the fly).
To be able to cast the fly as far as wanted from the angler, the line has to be a bit heavier than the other kinds of fishing line, as a weight is used in other kinds of fishing to obtain the same effect. Also, the artificial flies are available in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours to reflect real, live flies, depending on the species of fish the angler intends to catch.
In general, an artificial fishing fly is created, often by hand by enthusiasts, from hair, plastic, feathers, fabric, fur and many other kinds of material in order to ensure the fly resembles, as closely as possible, the insect or fly most commonly eaten by the particular sort of fish in that particular month or at that time of the day. This means that each fishing spot requires that you choose a definite type of artificial fly that will look like the insects inhabiting the area where your desired species of fish swim. Therefore, a kind of fly employed in one part of the country may not work as well as you’d expect elsewhere.
However, there are classifications of flies too, although they fall into two basic general categories, which are known as ‘attractive’ and ‘imitative’. The imitative artificial lures look like real insects, while the attractive lures just rely on colour or the twinkling of sunlight in order to lure fish without necessarily looking like the fish’s usual prey.
These classifications are then used to further sub-divide artificial fly fishing lures into: a] dry (resembling grasshoppers, dragonflies, etc. which float on or near the surface of the water); b] sub-surface (looking like larvae, pupae) and c] wet (resembling leeches and minnows and other small fish or fry).
The biggest difference between fly fishing and non-fly fishing is that fly fishing depends a lot on the weight of the line to carry the artificial lure to that part of the water where your fish are swimming, probably at a distance from the angler. The line is often camouflaged and hollow.
However, non-fly fishing relies rather on the added weight, often made of lead previously, to pull the line off the reel and carry it on to the right area, where the weight will also take the bait or lure down to the feeding fish.
