Carp Fishing Equipment

Fly Fishing Apparatus

Fly fishing isn’t just a normal way of fishing because it uses specific tools to catch fish. . The most common associated fish caught with fly fishing tackles is trout and salmon, however pike, bass and carp are being caught as well.

The basic apparatus in fly fishing is the fly rod, fly line, artificial fly line and fly reel. Each part of the tackle has its own vita role in catching fish. First is the fly rod which is used to cast the fly line. The length will vary between 7 to 10 feet depending on the environment where you are fishing. Usually, fly rod are made from graphite and fibreglass and in some cases bamboo. By using other materials, the fly rod will become lighter or heavier and it may also become stiff or bendy. Therefore, follow the intended materials for ht fly rod to work perfectly.

Another part is the fly line which is a plastic coated line that can be found in variety of thickness. They also range in color but usually, bright colored fly line is used to attract the prey that is intended to be caught.

Now let’s go to the major part of the fishing tackle which is the artificial flies. They are made by tying hair, feathers, fur and other natural and synthetic materials onto a hook. Artificial flies range from bright lively colours in order to stand out, or darker colours to match the environment.

Another important part of the tackle is the fly reel. This one is used to hold the fly fishing line. The fish caught depends entirely on the kind of reel used. For bigger fishes, one should consider thicker lines and gears while for smaller fishes, a manual reel can be used.

Fly Fishing – With The Right Equipment And Technique It Is The Most Enjoyable Sport

Fly fishing is a water sport and a very different fishing technique used to catch big game fish. The sport of fishing is also known as ‘angling’. Salmon and trout are the popular fish that are sought by anglers of fly fishing. In recent times other species of fish such as Bass, carp and pike have been added to the list of game fish that fly fishermen seek the world over. Fly fishing is believed to have originated in Macedonia in the 2nd century and has now become a popular sport among the European and American fishing community.

Fly fishermen have developed many different lures to attract the game they seek. They have also developed ways to cast and reel in the lure to hook the game that more often than not gets fooled into biting. Some of the lures that are popular among fly fishermen include:

1. Emerges and dry flies, these include stone flies and midgets.
2. Nymphs such as Mayflies and worms.
3. Streamers wet flies such as buggers and leeches.
4. Saltwater flies such as marlin and sail fish
5. Bass and Panfish flies examples are crawfish and eels

It is important to have the proper gear for fly fishing. The most important gear is the fly fishing rod. This piece of equipment may vary from 6 feet in length to 12 feet. The fly rod must match the weight of the fly line. A mismatched fly rod with the wrong weight line will result in improper casting and will ruin the whole exercise. The length of the rod itself is determined by the type of fish the angler is going after the bigger the fish the larger the rod and heavier the line.

The babboo split cane is a popular fly fishing rod. This rod is made by splitting the bamboo into four lengths and gluing it together again over a solid core. Freshwater trout fishing is a fly fishing sport that demands this kind of bamboo rod for success. Synthetic fly fishing rods are making their presence known; however, the die-hard fly angler will stick to the traditional bamboo fly rod and tackle.

The line of the bamboo rod is usually made out of horse’s hair. This line needs to be regularly dried or it will rot. The silk line used for fly fishing has the same requirement. However, these days the synthetic nylon line is the best suited for fly fishing as the line is stronger and lighter than the traditional fly fishing line.

Fish Bait Recipes – How to Mix Your Own Bait

Cured Salmon Eggs

If you are fishing for large game fish, cured salmon eggs are the ideal bait. Largemouth bass, muskellunge, salmon, and other large fish species love them.

Here’s how to cure salmon eggs to use as bait:

1. Withdraw the eggs from a salmon you are cleaning, keeping the egg sacs intact.

2. Cover a large, flat,moveable surface with 1/4 inch of borax.

3. Cut the egg sacs across the membrane in slits of 3 to 4 inches.

4. Lay the egg sac sections 1 inch apart on top of the borax.

5. Scatter more borax over the top to produce a light coating.

6. Be sure all egg sacs are covered.

7. Move the large mobile surface that the eggs are on to a protected area with good circulation all around.

8. The eggs must not be in direct sunlight and cannot get moist.

9. Allow the sacs to dry for 2 to 3 days, turning them every 12 hours.

10. Pick the egg sacs out of the borax and shake off any excess.

11. Place them in plastic bags or storage containers.

The egg sacs are ready to use when they are completely dry and leatherlike, but pliable. If properly cured, they can be kept in their containers until your next fishing trip.

 

Cheese Bait

Cheese bait can be utilized to catch catfish, chub, and carp. In fact, carp especially love cheese bait. So if you’re seeking to catch any of these species or a huge carp that’s been hanging around your fishing hole, here’s how to construct your own cheese bait:

1. Use 10 ounces of pie pastry and roll it flat on a chopping board or counter top.

2. Smear the pastry with aged cheddar flavor.

3. Add 6 ounces of grated cured cheddar cheese and 4 ounces of Danish blue cheese, crumbled to fine grains.

4. Fold the pastry over the cheese, so it is entirely covered and roll out.

5. Repeat this process until the pie pastry and the cheese are thoroughly mixed and the cheese is absorbed by the pastry.

6. Form the paste into a big ball and knead by hand.

7. Add 10 drops of the mature cheddar flavoring to a freezer bag and place the cheese paste ball into the bag.

8. Place the bag into the freezer.

When thawed, this bait has an appealing consistency and texture, and a very powerful odor. Roll the thawed paste into small balls and place them into a container for your next excursion.

When you place a cheese ball onto your hook, adjust the hook’s point into the center, cast and wait patiently for the fish to bite. Your wait should be short and the catch satisfying.

Fishing Tips

Making Instant Carp Baits Easy!

When you need some essential inspiration to liven-up your catch rate (or literally stop those blank sessions in their tracks,) really manipulate fish feeding behaviour by exploiting different aspects of your baits; read on to discover how…

For both winter and summer conditions why not try combining high-attract tiger nut pellets, hemp pellets, bloodworm pellets, spicy shrimp pellets, spirulina and betaine pellets and CSL pellets all together. This provides a very wide range of hugely well proven carp feeding nutritional stimuli and attraction…

You might try adding to this combination a mixture of Minamino, salmon protein, L030 fish protein and betaine HCL, to dampen your pellets and seriously boost their performance and speed their effects. Of course adding this and similar mixtures to expander pellets and shelf-life readymade baits for example is awesome too!

When using readymade shelf-life and freezer baits, why not exploit their matching base mixes offered and make ground baits to your own personal taste. You could boost those attractors and liquids etc that are recommended for your base mixes, and use the mixture as ground baits that will release soluble substances far better and far quicker than conventional boilies and many pellets. Upon introduction this will instantly provide excellent levels of carp attraction into your swim.

Try boosting bait attraction with hydrolysed salmon extract from Carpfishingpellets (online,) green lipped mussel extract, liver powder, blood powder, Robin Red, meat meal, CSL meal, ground crushed hemp, brewers yeast, poultry protein meal, carp pellet powder, betaine and lecithins for instance. Or simply add Ccmoore Red Venom or Feedstim XP, dried shrimps, crushed hemp, lecithins and betaine, to your own homemade boilie base mixes. (Perhaps try these and others to produce your own very unique pastes and ground baits too!)

For those who really like to do their own thing, then perhaps use a mixture of carp pellet powder from Carpfishingpellets as an highly nutritious base, with CSL meal, crushed hemp, predigested fish meal, brewers yeast and betaine, and liquid liver for example; this will really work. The real beauty of making homemade bait is you can control the cost and also the levels of the additives and ingredients that have really significant impacts on fishes systems and responses. Add Talin protein sweetener and liquid intense sweeteners (in a combination,) plus butyric acid, and it will do wonders in boilie, paste, and ground baits etc.

The course texture of tiger nut meal is great for both cold water and warmer water conditions allowing carp attraction substances to disperse outwards very effectively. Using poultry protein meal in baits will hit both carp and big catfish in just the right spots!

If you are worried about binding – why use what everyone seems to use,(i.e. Vitalin,) when carp and cats and all too well aware of its potential dangers now; so use something unique like carp pellet powder in boilies, pastes, method and ground bait mixes. Carp pellets are after all formulated for carp (not dogs,) so which product do you think is more effective and more suitably digestible and usable to carp in getting that all important edge!?

In terms of soluble attraction, if you use a cheap 50 percent soya and 50 percent semolina boilie base mix for instance, do yourself a massive favour. When your chosen liquid flavours have leached out there will be far less to initiate carp feeding response. So add some serious extra incentives for your fish to feed, such as bulking it out with a reliable base mix to make it cheaper such as Meteor or Odyssey XXX from Ccmoore. Or simply add liver powder, green lipped mussel extract, brewers yeast and dried blood powders for instance; more goodies please says Mr Carp!
