Angling Fish - by James Rickard

Fly fishing - Angling Fish

Fly casting video

Getting your line in the water is a big part of ANY fishing and hard to do correctly if you're fly fishing.

Here are a couple more clips I found on YouTube.

I really like this first video. It's fairly short and encouraging.



This next part is a bit longer but contains some good info! Just for the record--everything he says NOT to do??? I've done it!



If I could walk to a fly fishing stream the same I can for bass or catfish, I'd know a little more about fly fishing! *LOL*




Until next time--watch yourself and watch your line!

Start fly fishing

October 10th 2008 00:48
As long as I live within walking distance of the river, I doubt if I'll be doing much fly fishing although I find it pretty relaxing.

It's ironic that most people say they're going to fish during retirement. If you've fished most of your life, what do you do in retirement? Maybe I'll have more time to fly fish????

Learn to tie flies

June 20th 2008 00:32
There's some interesting videos on YouTube these days for anyone who likes to tie their own flies.

You can find a lot from all the information floating around the Web in general and YouTube in particular but this guy seems to know what he's talking about and gives some real world suggestions as he goes along.

Believe it when I say my fly fishing ability leaves something to be desired!

When it comes to fishing, I think there are two kinds of people in the world--the graceful fly anglers and the rest of us!

When it comes to fly fishing, I read other people's stuff to get info!

For years I though a Wooly Bugger was a lead jig with a piece of yarn tied on it!

Video about making bamboo rods

May 13th 2008 00:28
Since we've been dealing with graphite the past couple of days, I thought it would be nice and get back to some of the roots of fishing and feature a couple videos about bamboo fly rods.

When you realize how labor intensive rod making can be, it's no wonder they cost so much!

Is fly fishing for you--Choosing line

October 13th 2007 00:01

Fly line is rated something like WF-7-F which translates to weight forward, 7 weight, floating. Weight forward is basically the taper of the line but, you will probably run into double taper and level line and possibly more but, go with the weight forward if you’re starting from scratch. It’s MUCH easier to cast!

Is fly fishing for you--Choosing a rod & reel

October 11th 2007 23:44
fly-fishing

Many of the same principles that apply to picking out a rod for freshwater fishing will apply to choosing a fly rod. Like many fishing items, price is not necessarily an indication of quality. It pays to shop around and remember that if you order a rod on the internet, what looks like a bargain may not be such a great buy after the shipping and handling are added into the price. AND they guys at cheaprods.com can't tell you how they're biting at the creek down at the end of the road!

Is fly fishing for you?

October 10th 2007 22:40
fly fishing
I just had to buy a new fly rod to replace the one I broke earlier this year and it was truly a daunting experience! AND I’m supposed to know a thing or two about fishing!

The guy who started the story about standing in the middle of a stream waving a stick was probably talking about fly-fishing. Just like there are two kinds of people--cat people and dog people, so too, are there two kinds of anglers--fly fishermen and the rest of us. It used to be that trout and salmon were the sole domain of fly anglers. Nowadays, you can find men or women casting flies from boats or banks as well as standing in flowing water in an effort to catch the aforementioned species in addition to large game fish such as tarpon or pike.
