Perhaps the most rewarding element of fly fishing is the variety
of beautiful natural surroundings in which anglers often find
themselves; a secluded stream up in the mountains, a peaceful
meandering river deep in the forest, or a tranquil blue lake
somewhere out in big sky country. For some, it may be the
opportunity to test ones’ individual skill against nature - in an
intricate game of cat and mouse (but in this case, man against
fish.) These are just some of the compelling reasons why many
thousands of people enjoy the challenges of fly fishing every
year.

For beginning fly-fishermen, however, learning fly fishing can be
difficult.

We have compiled this e-book to give anglers, especially new
anglers, some guidance on how to get the most out of the exciting
sport of fly fishing. While there are many other resources
available about fly fishing on the internet, few of them touch on
the techniques, tactics and strategies commonly used in fly
fishing. If these topics sound interesting, then you’re in the
right place because this e-book was written just for you.

We’ll explore in detail the various fish most people fish for,
we’ll cover casting basics, how to read the water, how to take
care of your gear, how to tie knots, dry flies, and fly lines.
We’ll also explore hatches, cover insect entomology and much,
much more. In short, this e-book will teach you everything you
always wanted to know about fly fishing! (maybe even more than
you’ve ever wanted to know)

Fly Fishing: Trout & Their Habitat

Successful fly fishing involves lots of things, including having
the proper fly fishing gear, using the right flies, being able to
cast correctly, and many more little things that often determine
whether a fly fishing adventure is successful or not. However,
one thing that many anglers frequently neglect to learn about is
the fish that they are fishing for.

A strong knowledge of the various types of trout is of critical
importance. Knowing more about the various types of trout that
you are fishing for, their habits, tendencies, and
characteristics, can help tremendously in improving your catch.

In our next article we have covered the primary types of trout,
their senses, and other important traits unique to each variety.

The next few days in Ohio are supposed to be in the 50’s, so, guess what I plan on doing if the lakes thaw out? Yep, go fishing for bass.

As you know the bass are not going to spend a lot of energy going after your bait, so offer them something a little larger than usual. A 10″ worm comes to mind, a pig and jig or something to that effect.

Where you might have this in the water for 30 seconds in the summer, now it might take 4 or 5 minutes. Work it slow…….very slow.

Does this work? Well, one day it was so cold outside I never even got out of the truck, my fishing partner wanted to fish this new lake even though the wind was blowing about 20 miles an hour.

Can you imagine my surprise when he came back about 10 minutes later with a bass over 5 pounds? He was working a grape colored worm very, very slow.

I have fished in the winter ever since that day.

Charles E. White has fished for almost 50 years for bass from California to Florida. In his lifetime, it is estimated that he has caught over 6,000 bass. His biggest bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce that hangs on his wall in his office.

Charles has fished with people who have never fished for bass before and taught them how to become successful anglers and also has fished with the Pros in Florida.

I was in Southwest Florida and was asked to go fishing by one of the pro bass fisherman there. Thinking I would learn a lot that day, I graciously accepted his kind offer.

So, we begin our trip to Lake Okeechobee about 4 hours away. We put this bass boat in and away we went……full throttle! I soon realized these boats don’t have a slow or medium speed, when you hit the key, you’re on your way as fast as the boat would go. When you stop, you stop completely. Anyway, here we go about 90 miles an hour down Lake Okeechobee.

Then we began fishing. I was so excited, I mean fishing this lake that is known for big bass and in this bass boat that can go a million miles an hour and with a pro too, what a day! Then I started catching fish, then another, then another and my pro friend hasn’t caught one. Well, it didn’t matter to me if I caught one or not but it apparently did to him. The next thing I know he has this big old frown on his face and mumbling something. I said “what’s wrong?” He said something to the effect……”it’s really something when a guy is nice enough to take you fishing with him and then you do him the way you are.” I said “what in the world are you talking about?” He said “I mean I take you out in my boat and you catch all the fish and out fish me.” I thought he was kidding. I soon found out he wasn’t kidding at all. So, now, instead of enjoying myself, I made it a point not to catch any more fish.

We got done that afternoon and got home. I told him thank you for taking me fishing with him but please don’t ask me again. I said I still considered him a friend but not a good fishing buddy. I wasn’t there to compete with him like the other fishermen he fishes with apparently but went just to enjoy myself and have the experience of fishing Lake Okeechobee.

Needless to say, that was one of the worse experiences I have had fishing for bass.
