Lure Fly Eyes

Many anglers who go river fishing with traditional spin fishing gear think that fishing flies isn't a viable option for them. I know for me river fishing has always been about using traditional spin fishing gear, or more to the point ultra light spin fishing gear, and for many years I never thought that fishing flies was a viable option for me. Then my fishing mentor introduced me to a couple of techniques that changed my way of thinking.

In this article I will outline these 2 river fishing tips which enable anyone to fish with flies without engaging in the dog and pony show known as "fly fishing". I kid fly fishermen, but the truth is that flies are extremely effective bait for many species of fish and traditional fly fishing is an effective manner in which to fish flies. However traditional fly fishing has simply never appealed to me and has always seemed more like a 'production' of some sort than fishing. The point is that these two river fishing tips are for those of you who are like me and like the idea of fishing flies, but don't like the idea of "fly fishing".

1. The Drifting Technique - This technique involves drifting a wet fly, such as a black gnat or a royal coachman (to name a few choices). Start by cutting a piece of line for a leader twelve to twenty four inches long. Now tie a small barrel swivel onto the end of your line. Tie the piece of line you cut off to the opposite end if the barrel swivel. A fly is now attached to the end of the leader. Add split shot sinkers to your rig (above the swivel) for weight. The number and size of the split shot will vary with water depth and current flow. This rig is now cast parallel to the current and allowed to drift with the current, bouncing along the bottom as it flows. This technique is an excellent way to fish dry flies and/or streamers while river fishing without using traditional fly fishing equipment.
2. The Casting Bubble Technique - A casting bubble is a great way to fish a fly while using spin fishing gear that normally works best in slow moving current where the water is a bit deeper (such as large pools or runs). As far as river fishing tips are concerned, this is a good one. The key with fishing a fly and a casting bubble is to retrieve your line extremely slowly. The depth of the fly can be controlled by the speed at which you retrieve the bubble. The bubble itself acts as a 'strike indicator' as well, so keep an eye on the bubble as you reel it in. Dry flies can also be fished with a casting bubble, and the key with dry flies is to keep your eye on the fly itself, rather than the bubble.

Anyone who enjoys river fishing will be well served by added these two river fishing tips to their arsenal sooner rather than later. Artificial flies are a great bait for many species of fish and now you know that you can fish a fly with being a "fly fisherman" and using traditional fly fishing equipment.

Artificial Fly $181.62 Artificial fly or Fly lure is an angling term closely associated with the sport of fly fishing although artificial flies may be used in other forms of angling. In general, artificial flies are the bait which fly fishers present to their target species of fish while fly fishing. Artificial flies are constructed by the practice of fly tying. Artificial flies may be constructed to represent all manner of potential freshwater and saltwater fish prey to include aquatic and terrestrial insects, crustaceans, worms, baitfish, vegetation, flesh, spawn, small reptiles, amphibians, mammals and birds, etc. Artificial flies were originally constructed from various furs, feathers, threads and hooks. Today there are literally dozens of different types of natural and synthetic materials used to construct artificial flies. In the early years of fly fishing through the mid20th Century, effective artificial fly patterns were said to be killing flies because of their ability to put fish in the Creel (basket) for the fly fisher. By the mid19th Century, there were thousands of artificial fly patterns. Today, the number of distinct patterns is probably incalculable.
