Stop Guessing! How to Know What Fly to Use | Ep. 149
After a long day of fishing, when the trout refused EVERY fly you threw at them, how often have you gone home and looked up some information about the best flies to use during a certain time of year? And when you've done that, have you ever thought, "Well, this is all interesting, but how much does it apply to MY local river?"
Well, the short answer is, probably a lot. The longer answer is that as you learn to identify bug trends and aquatic insects, you'll dramatically level up your fly fishing skills.
So, this week on Untangled, we're breaking down fly selection into its basic parts, so you can learn how to pick the right fly the next time you're on the water.
You'll also learn about:
- Why tapered leaders are the ideal choice for nymphing
- Why you might start out a day catching fish, only to quickly stop catching them for the rest of your time on the water
- The impact that cloud cover has on fly selection and fly color choices
