A One-Stop Guide to Fun and Exciting Fly Fishing

Fly fishing has been used for more than ages already. It is a unique and distinct way of catching trout and salmon. It the most known way of catching fishes and have been used also to catch a new variety of fish species like the spike, bass, pan fish, carp and a lot others as well as marine fishes like the snook and tarpon.

There are a growing percentage of anglers whose main agenda and goal is to catch many different species as possible. Many also accounted that they can catch other species other than their main target like Rudd and bream.

Fly fishing can be done in both salt water and fresh water. The latter can be divided by temperatures of the water. Coldwater fishes include steelhead and salmon, while the cool water fishes include pike and walleye and lastly, the warm water have the bass, catfish and chub. The bass oftentimes the real adventure of most anglers, they are the best type of fish especially in summer where your setting is the dirtiest of the pond.

The technique in fly fishing is that you use artificial flies and a fly rod and a line. The fly line which is most often coated with plastic nowadays is heavy that it can send the fly to the target. The fly line differs so much in spinner and bait rods which they use weight on the line to cast the bait and do other things.

Flies used in fly fishing can be made from different things like fur, feathers, hair and or other materials which can be synthetic or natural. You hook this artificial fly onto the hook with a thread. Synthetic materials are more used commonly these days unlike before where they used natural fly more often.

The flies are tied depending on their sizes and colors and you could make patterns to camouflaged and mimic the marine and aquatic environment, you should make them resemble natural bait for the species of your target.

Fly fishing uses a different method; it uses the technique of casting line than luring the bait. Other methods depend on the lure’s weight to pull the line when you do the forward motion of casting. The bait in fly fishing is too light to be casted in that way, so the secret is the casting the line properly.

Forward cast is the most used method of casting, although a lot of method can be used depending on the conditions you are in. you should be able to do the forward cast correctly to be able to get the fly to your desirable distance.

By drooping the fly onto the water and have it move subsequently on the water is the most difficult aspect of fly fishing. You have to cast the fly as naturally as possible so the fish can think and perceive it more as a natural prey.

So if you want to engage in fly fishing, there are a lot of things to learn. But is actually one great hobby for you. It is one way to do recreational things and yes-taste your award-cook that salmon fresh!

Carp Fishing Basics ? The Fundamentals

Carp is a collective name of the fishes found in fresh waters. These fishes are natives of Europe & Asia. Lately they have been introduced to various locations around the world, though with mixed results. Carp fishes can be of various types, these are:

Common Carp: Also known as European carp and is found in Asia & Eastern Europe.
Silver Carp: These fishes are filter feeder and are difficult to catch on typical hook and line gear. Special methods have been developed for these fishes.
Bighead Carp: These are of large sizes and are equally filter feeders as the silver carps. These are also known as bighead carp and can be captured through suspension method.
Grass Carp: These fishes grow in small lakes and backwaters that provide an abundant supply of fresh water vegetation. Grass carp are strong fighters on a rod and reel, because of their vegetarian habits and their wariness.
Crucian Carp: These fishes are mostly found in lakes, ponds, and slow-moving rivers throughout Europe and Asia. These are basically a hybrid species & thus are basically regarded as a threat to other native aquatic animals.

Lately carp fishing is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and Europe and surprisingly each week hundreds or maybe thousands of new anglers experience the pleasure of catching big carp. As the crap fishing is gaining some popularity, the industry is also growing very fast. Accordingly, many top tackle manufacturers are consistently improving products and developing new ideas to provide new methods to make carp fishing a hassle free job. Manufactures have been successful to incorporate latest technologies in fishing lines, bait and rig presentation.

Interestingly, carp fish possess a natural instinct to learn and adapt to various dangers in order to survive. Carp quickly learns the most common angling tactics used by carp fishermen. As the fish learn by association they start to recognize various baiting situations as dangerous and some may start to avoid an angler’s bait altogether! That’s why anglers are always in to inventing newer techniques to catch a carp and a little intelligent thinking is necessary to make a crap compelled to hook in to the bait.

All About Carp

So many of you will know that Carp belong to the species (Cyprinus Carpia). A fish whose natural habitat was Asia, but is now found on most of the large land masses, like Europe and North America.

 

Carp have had a chequered career. They were once considered to be an undesirable element in fresh water lakes and rivers. This resulted in a lot of activity aimed at getting carp exterminated.

 

Why were they undesirable? Because they are omnivorous – they eat both animal and plant foods indiscriminately. To ensure they miss out on nothing in their diet, carp roil about in the water, stirring up the sediment, rooting about for food. This increases the turbidity and creates an environment which affects the well-being and growth of many of the plants and animals found underwater.

 

A nice word – roil. It also means to vex, disturb and irritate, which bring us back to the verb ‘to carp’. This means to find fault, to complain unreasonably, to niggle or be critical. There seems to be a connection here between ‘carp’ and ‘to carp’ – don’t you think?

 

Carp’s fortunes began to turn when it was discovered that they are an easy fish to raise for food. If they are farmed, large amounts of fish meat can be produced per acre. This is done most successfully in Europe and Asia. To fish-farm successfully, the oxygen in the water needs to be replenished regularly. This can be done fairly easily when the fish are kept in tanks and the water is continually circulated by means of a pumping system. The food is fed directly into the tanks, though it’s unclear what exactly happens to the waste the fish produce.

 

This mass food production is a little at odds with the fact that they are not a particularly edible variety of fish, except perhaps to Polish people, to whom they are as important at Christmas time as the turkey is elsewhere. You will not find Carp appearing regularly as a dish on 5 star menus anywhere in the world.

 

To anglers though, catching Carp is a great sport. They can be very wily, putting up a great fight to avoid being removed from the water. At present the world fishing record for a Carp is more than 90lbs 15ozs.

 

And then, how about:

R for Ready mades – boilies which have already been manufactured, sold in bags.
