The Best Flies for Trout Fishing Success
Fly fishing is one of the most effective and interesting ways to catch trout. It requires good technique and patience, but one of the most important things to understand is which flies to use and why. In this article we will examine some different types of trout fishing flies and discuss how they can help your success. The main types of flies we will touch on are wet flies, dry flies and nymphs. There are plenty of others out there, but these are the ones with which I have had the most success. Keep in mind that these are just general categories of trout fishing flies, and there are many specific types of flies within each category below.
Wet Flies
Wet flies get their name because they are designed to mimic insects that usually spend time just below the water surface. There are plenty of insects out there that can be seen barely submerged in the water, and this can happen for different reasons. Some are water insects that live and feed in the water, and others might be going under just to lay eggs. Depending on the water conditions and the surroundings, there are some of these insects that get trapped under water and become an immediate target for trout. Anglers who fish with wet flies will use a special technique and try to imitate these insects with their wet flies, and this can be highly successful given the fact that trout love going for insects subsurface. Wet flies come in various color patterns and sizes, but the true key to successful trout fishing with these flies is using proper technique to mimic the behavior of these insects.
Dry Flies
Dry flies are named as such because they are designed to immolate those insects that stay just above or right at the water surface. Trout are known to be enticed by bugs and insects that are right on the surface because of their spectacular eye sight and ability to move fast when feeding. However, trout are vulnerable near the surface because the fly fisherman can see its behavior and the playing field is pretty even. Many dry fly fishermen believe that trout will feed at the surface year-round and therefore think that you can have great success with dry flies. Another reason that fishing with dry flies can be successful is because the angler can see the end of the line and how the trout is reacting to it, thus being able to correct any mistakes made.
Nymphs
Nymphs are really a just a type of wet fly since they are used underwater as well. Most insects that have not matured or are in the early stages of life spend their time underwater, and nymphs are used to imitate those insects. The distinction that can be made from other wet flies is that nymphs usually are weighted more heavily and go deeper into the water. They are designed to target those trout that may hang around near the bottom waiting for sinking eggs or insects. Nymph fly fishing can be a great method for catching trout in rivers where the angler can cast upstream and allow the nymph to drift down at various depths right over the trout.

French Fishing Flies (Hardcover) $34.21 Cul de Canard (Duck`s Rump), Farefelue (The Crazy One), Plantureuse (Buxom Gal), Peute (The Ugly One)-the names are deliciously French but one would make a terrible mistake to think that only French-born trout like these fishing flies. "Design," said Datus Proper, "is why this book has as much to do with the Henry`s Fork as with the Risle." At least one of the flies introduced by French Fishing Flies more than twenty-five years ago, the Cul de Canard, has long since become a true staple in fly boxes around the world. Others will surely follow. This fascinating book is bound to be of great interest to fly fishermen everywhere. |

Anglers Book Supply Co 0Otf25 Flies That Catch Fish Volume Two Nymphs Wet Flies $56.63 9 proven designs from the vise of Bob Wyatt. Wyatt regards these flies as Trout Ammo His style in unconventional yet extremely effective. Each fly is designed to be highly robust simple to tie while presenting the essential triggers. 90 min. FEATURING:#8232;Hares Ear Nymph weighted and unweighted. Buzzer weighted and unweighted Partridge and Hare Damselfly Fur Fly Desolation Baitfish Rubber legs Woolly Bugger Magnum Zonker. Bob Wyatt has flyfished for trout in North America Europe and New Zealand since the 1950s and has been a regular writer for FlyLife and Fly Fishing and Fly Tying magazines for many years. His book Trout Hunting challenged some conventional thinking regarding how trout work and presented some fresh insights on why some great old flies continue to catch fish after a century or more of increasing fishing pressure. The reason is that contrary to much expert opinion trout are not getting smarter. If presented well some fly designs are basically irresistible to a feeding trout.Over fifty years of fly fishing has convinced Wyatt that a few basic designs will cover almost any fishing situation and in most cases will catch fish better than specific patterns created for the socalled selective trout . The reason they work so well is because of the way a trout s brain works. These fly designs are based on the most important triggers to a trout s feeding response a fly s size shape and posture in the water. In fact Wyatt regards a suggestive impression of a trout s food to be far more effective than a close copy imitation. Presentation is the key. With these flies you can confidently fish for trout anywhere they swim. DVD |
