Fly Fishing Strategies for Wild vs. Stocked Trout | Ep. 126
Do you need to use different tactics, flies, and strategies when you're fishing for stocked trout versus wild ones?
We hear a version of that question ALL THE TIME here at VFC, and it makes sense. For a lot of people, the most consistent trout fishing they have easy access to are stocked fish. So, we're taking a deep-dive into the world of stocked and wild fish. We'll look at all the differences between the two -- their appearance, behavior, and the flies and strategies we recommend for them.
You'll also learn about:
- How steep the learning curve is in fly fishing, and the two things you should focus on to lessen it
- Why fish sometimes don't eat caddis dry flies, even if the caddis are swarming in the air above the river
- How many flies you should carry with you for a day of fishing
- What counts as a "caught" fish
