Wild Water Fly Fishing - The Best Way to Learn How to Fly Fish
Finding the right fly
Type of Flies
A fly fisherman is only as good as his flies. A well-crafted fly can make the difference between a long day of casting with no bites and a successful day on the water. There are three main types of flies: dry flies, nymphs, and streamers. Dry flies float on the surface of the water and imitate the adult form of aquatic insects such as mayflies, grasshoppers, ants, beetles, or mice. Nymphs sink beneath the surface and imitate the immature form of insects. Streamers are designed to look like baitfish, and are used to attract larger predators. In addition to these three main types, there are also attractor patterns that do not necessarily imitate any real insect but are designed to get fish's attention. No matter what type of fly you are using, it is important to make sure that it looks realistic.
Hook Size
When it comes to choosing the right hook size for fishing, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, you need to consider the type of fish you're hoping to catch. The bigger the fish, the bigger the hook should be. Second, you need to match the size of your fly with the weight of your line. The heavier the line, the larger the fly needs to be in order to avoid being pulled under. Finally, you also need to take into account the type of water you'll be fishing in. If you're fishing in a fast-moving river, for example, you'll need a heavier hook so that it can stand up to the current. By matching the size of your fly with the weight of your line, you can ensure that your fly will be properly presented to your target fish.
Fly line weight => Ideal fly size
- 1 wt => 16-28
- 2 wt => 14-28
- 3 wt => 12-24
- 4 wt => 10-22
- 5 wt => 6-18
- 6 wt => 4-16
- 7 wt => 2-14
- 8 wt => 1/0-10
- 9 wt => 2/0-8
- 10 wt => 4/0-2

I have ordered several different fly patterns and have been pleased with the quality. Quality is similar to Umpqua and the price provided a better value particularly with the free shipping.
