Fly fishing videos are one of the most powerful tools. Watching them can give you great tips and tricks. These videos are available for free, or you can pay a small fee to subscribe to the Double Badger Media flyfishing video channel for updates and fascinating stories. Here is a brief overview of the fly fishing video channel.
Fly fishing to cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. Use a baitfish patterned fly. This fly sinks and should be cast at high speed. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
First, you should dump the entire fly line into your backing. Then let the line sink. Next, remove the line quickly and do the same thing again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
If you are interested in catching a big tarpon, fly fishing is the way to go. Tarpon are a different species than your average saltwater fish, so you need to know what to look at when choosing a fly-fishing pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. One of the most effective patterns for tarpon is the Lefty Kreh's deceiver. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon can be active early in the morning so make sure you fish just after the sun has up. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. However, tarpon can be predatory so avoid artificial lighting during the day.

Hirata San's tenkara fly-fishing
You might be surprised to know that the methods that Hirata-san uses to catch fish have been his mainstays for five decades. These methods have been refined over the years, but they are still the core of tenkara. These techniques are known as "Shokuryoshi-school" methods. They are also rooted in traditional methods of catching fish.
This video covers the history of tenkara flies fishing and offers detailed advice on choosing the right flies. Hirata-san uses a horsehair line made from hand furled horsehair and hand-ties all his flies. He also discusses how to tie a horsehair line without using a vice. His techniques include presentation, onstream casting and hook setting.
FAQ
Which is the best time of year to fish?
Fishing is best done in the early morning or late evening. During these times, the fish are feeding and moving around.
How do I bait my hooks
Tie a piece meat on the hook to bait it. Attach the meat to the eye of the hook.
Which rod should you choose?
Graphite fiberglass composite makes the best fly fishing rod. This composite is strong and lightweight with excellent casting characteristics. To learn how to cast better, you will need to practice with graphite rods.
Is it safe?
Always check with the seller to see if there is a freshness date. You can eat fish that has not expired if they have no expiration dates. But if the fish looks old or smells bad, then you shouldn't eat it.
To fish, do you need a rod?
Yes. The bobber is used when the bait is being removed from the water. The bobber consists of two parts: the line and the float. Attach the hook to the line at the end and then let go. A bobber is not necessary to cast a lure. The lure could sink into the waters, making it difficult for the fish bite.
Can I fish in the morning?
Yes, fishing is possible at all hours of the day. The only time you cannot fish is during times when there is a ban on fishing.
What happens if I get caught fishing illegally?
You could face fines or jail time as well as losing your fishing permit. Before you go fishing, it's important that you know the rules.

- Orvis, Simms, and Fishpond have been making some of the best packs and vests for a long time, and it seems like 90% of the anglers around the area use these brands. (troutandsteelhead.net)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- To substantiate this theory, Knight attempted a systematic inquiry by considering the timing of 200 'record' catches, more than 90 percent were made during a new moon (when no moon is visible). (myfwc.com)

How To
Why use a spinning arrow?
Spinning Rods can be used to cast your lure directly into the water, without needing to leave the boat. If you don't want your casts to take too long, a spinning rod is a good choice. A spinning rod is designed to allow you to make casts from any position while still maintaining control of your line. The rod consists of three main components: the handle and the reel seat. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. Attach the rod's end to the hook in the butt area. Finally, the reel's seat holds the line and the reel. There are many rod options available today. Some rods are only suitable for specific types of fishing such as trolling or casting. Others can be used for a variety of purposes, such as fly fishing, spin-fishing, and bait fishing.
The type and species of fish that you are trying to catch will dictate the type of rod you use. You would need a heavy-duty rod if your goal is to catch large predatory fish like pike and bass. For smaller species, like salmon and trout, a lighter-weight rod might be better. You could even purchase multiple rod sizes depending upon how big you plan to catch the fish.
Spinning Rods don't have to be limited to freshwater fishing. They are often used for saltwater fishermanship. Saltwater spinning reels are typically heavier than freshwater rods. This is because saltwater requires stronger materials to withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. This allows them to cast farther distances. However, keep in mind that there are some downsides to using a spinning rod for saltwater fishing. First, saltwater spinningrods don't come with reels. Instead, you will have to buy one separately. You will also find them quite expensive. A spinning rod is worth considering if you enjoy catching bigger fish.
Spin fishing is a type of angling that uses a spinning rod to throw a weighted lure into water. When the lure is in the water, it will spin around the weighted central point. This causes the lure to move erratically in the water, making it difficult for fish to detect the lure. Fish may also mistake the lure for food and begin feeding on it. It will then attract more fish to the lure. The line attached the lure can then be reeled by the fisherman. Once the lure is recovered, the fisherman may continue this process until he has caught all the fish he desires.
