Flies Fishing
![]() |
In order to succeed in trout fishing, you need to develop the skill of choosing the right flies that will give you the best results. It can be quite a challenge choosing the right flies since there are several options to choose from. Generally, all flies belong to any of the three basic categories - the wet flies, dry flies and the nymphs. These types of flies have their own uses and work well under specific conditions. Trout fishing flies vary in sizes, colors and patterns that it is important to know which ones will be ideal for the type of trout that you are aiming for.
Wet flies, are ideal for using across the stream, as well as upstream or downstream. They are the most common among the trout fishing flies because they are often used to catch even the big trouts. They are also often bigger than most artificial flies. Dry flies are often used when the water flows upstream or downstream. The most common dry flies are the spinners, may flies, dries cripples and the caddies. Nymphs are usually attached onto a thicker hook adding some weight to make sure it stays underwater. Trout fishing baits that may be considered nymphs are the may fly nymphs, the stone fly and the caddis nymphs.
Trout fishing flies vary in size, color and style, and their use varies according to the type of trout that you are aiming for, as well as the condition of the water where you will be fishing in. During the summer, for example, it is best to use small flies when fishing in clear waters, while you will need flies that are about 2 or more inches when the water is colder. In muddy waters, it is better to use bright colored flies, such as orange or yellow flies.
When it comes to choosing the style of your trout fishing flies, check the hooks, as using the right hooks for your flies can also determine the success of your fishing expedition. For shallow water, single hooks are used more often, however, if you plan to trap bigger trout fishes, double or treble hooks are your best bets. Single hooks, however are less deadly to fishes, and perhaps present a kinder way to lure them, however, they are not that adaptable to all water conditions.
As the season changes, so should the kind of fly that you use for trout fishing. In springtime, for example, willie gunn tubes are great, while in the summer, stoats tails attached on singles are ideal. In the fall, you can shift to allys and comets.
For choosing the best trout fishing flies, you need to think ahead what type of trout do you wish to fish for. Most rainbow trouts are easier to attract with live baits, while brownies respond more to nymphs along the water surface.

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. |
