Product review: reels - Flyfishingtails

frica
One Tube Fly can be used with different weight or
colour heads.
The benefits are that:
A lure can be fished deeper with heavier coneheads as
currents ordepth changes.
Longer lasting
Because the tube slides up the line on a take this means
there is less damage than with conventional lures on a take.
Tube Flies last twice as long on average to a standard fly!
Easier catch and release fishing
With a deeply hooked fish the lure can be slid up the leader
and cut off the hook without further injury to a fish. It is
also practical to use hooks that will rapidly corrode in salt
or fresh water.”

How To Catch
More Trout
Trout and other fish have common feeding behavior.
Understanding these feeding clues are good
fly fishing fundamentals that will make fly fishing
more fun and productive. These clues are telling signs
of what type of foods the trout are eating and whether
the food is on top of the water or subsurface. A wide
brimmed hat and a good pair of polaroid sunglasses will
reduce glare from the water and help you spot these
vital clues.
1. A normal rise with bubbles indicates that trout are taking
food off the surface.
2. Trout leaping out of the water may be feeding on flying
insect like dragonflies and damselflies, spinners and
caddis flies.
3. Tailing trout with their head down fossicking and tails
in the air indicate feeding on nymphs, pupae and scuds.
4. Trout are taking baitfish and are aggressive in their
feeding, sometimes there will be bow waves as the bigger
fish rush in and attack the baitfish in the shallows.
5. Slashing means the trout are feeding on fast moving
insects like caddis moths and grasshoppers. Slashing can
also indicate feeding on snails; this can be exciting but
hard fishing.
6. Porpoising indicates trout feeding on emergers. With
abundance of food in some cases the trout will be predictable
in their direction of feeding before the surface
again. Landing a fly well in front of the fish porpoising
can be effective.
7. A swirl or small whirlpool means the fish are feeding
below the surface.
8. Bulging also points to feeding just under the surface.
Sometimes the trout will angle up towards the surface
and stop as they take the food causing a bulge in the
water.
9. Sipping indicates trout feeding on smaller insects like
ants or spent spinners low on the water surface.
10. A normal rise without air bubbles is a sign of the trout
taking emergers right under the surface tension of the
water.
Studying the water and feeding behavior of trout and
other fish will increase your knowledge and observation
skills. These indicators will increase your chances of landing
the trophy fish as you can then select the right imitation
fly, equipment and techniques to match the hatch!
