Lake fishing is very similar to river fishing, or slow-flowing river fishing at any rate. The types of fish in rivers and lakes tend to be the same, which means that the tackle, bait and lures will be the same as well, although you might want a longer fishing rod, say, a beach-casting rod to cast your bait farther out into the lake. Lake fish will often mature to a larger size than river fish, so your line should be stronger too.

Lake fish conventionally been classified under three general headings. Namely, game fish, food fish, and bait fish. Bass, trout, pike, pickerel, muskellunge, perch, etc., are identified as game fish because of their sporting value. Carp, suckers, some of the catfish, yellow perch, etc., are considered food fish.

This second group is not considered to furnish the sport that the so-called game fish do, but they do have a genuine economic and recreational value. The third class are the minnows and tiddlers that can be used as bait for the first two classes.

It is not simple to descibe the correct technique to cast protracted distances, but it does come nuturally to quite a few anglers. Yet, if casting does not come easily to you, you will need to analyze other lake or beach anglers. If you are not happy doing that, you will be able to find a video on the subject. However, the best means to learn how to cast is to go down to the beach , observe an expert at work and attempt to do the same.

Nonetheless, lake fishing is enormous fun and the beginner will rapidly learn the correct method of lake fishing. Consequently, I have put a few practical tips here to help you learn lake fishing more quickly.

i]. Aim to take up a smooth, whip-like cast. Nevertheless, if you crack the whip too hard, you will certainly lose a lot of bait, flies or lures..

ii]. Timing is the all-important factor in both the back cast and forward cast.

iii]. Study the habits of the fish that dwell in the lake that you plan to fish. All fish have both similar and dissimilar ways of life, so either get a book or video or join a club to learn more.

iv]. Most fish like some kind of protection, either for themselves or because their prey will like it there. Be careful of weeds, reeds and submerged logs or you will lose heaps of line and tackle..

v]. As I mentioned before, lake fish tend to be larger, because food is copious and there is bags of room. A large bass, for example, can easily weigh 10-12 lbs, so make sure that your rod and line are up to the task. A rod of seven feet six inches to eight feet in length can tolerate these sizes of fish.

Lake fishing is not so truly unusual from other types of fishing, so if you put a little effort into learning the methods and fish concerned in lake fishing, you will soon master the skill and become an expert at lake fishing.

Fly Fishing 101

Filed under: Uncategorized — Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , — Owen Jones @ 8:42 am

The purpose of this article is to help the beginner fly fishing. The terminology and the basic methods employed in fly fishing may be unknown to the beginner at fly fishing, so we will start from the very beginning. So, if you are a beginner fly fishing person, please read on in order to become acquainted with fly fishing.

The things needed for fly fishing are usually called tackle, although if you want to be more specific about the sort of tools you need, you can add the words “fly fishing”. So, you get the phrase: “fly fishing tackle”. Fly fishing gear basically comprises artificial flies, a fly rod, a fly reel and fly line. The set-up is: the fly is attached to the line, which is wound around the reel, which is attached to the rod, which is used to cast the bait (the fly).

To make it easier to cast the fly as far as required from the angler, the line needs to be a little weightier than the other kinds of fishing line, since a weight is used in other kinds of fishing to achieve the same result. Also, the artificial flies are made in all kinds of shapes, sizes and colours to look like real, live flies, depending on the type of fish the angler wants to catch.

In general, an artificial fly is made of hair, plastic, feathers, fabric, fur and many other types of material in order to ensure the flies resemble, as closely as possible, the insect or fly most commonly eaten by the particular species of fish in that particular month or at that time of the day. This means that each fishing spot requires that you select a definite kind of artificial fly that will look like the insects living in the area where your desired type of fish frequent. Therefore, a kind of fly used in one area of the region may not work as well as you’d think elsewhere.

However, there are classifications of flies too, although they fall into two basic general categories, which are known as ‘attractive’ and ‘imitative’. The imitative artificial flies resemble real flies, while the attractive lures just rely on colour or the reflection of sunlight in order to lure fish without necessarily resembling the fish’s normal diet.

These classifications are then used to further sub-divide artificial fly fishing lures into: a] dry (imitating grasshoppers, dragonflies, etc. which float on or near the surface of the water); b] sub-surface (resembling larvae, pupae) and c] wet (imitating leeches and minnows and other small fish or fry).

The main distinguishing feature between fly fishing and non-fly fishing is that fly fishing depends to a great extent on the weight of the line to carry the artificial lure to that area of the water where the fish are schooling, probably at some distance from the angler. The line is often camouflaged and hollow like electrical wire coating, so that it will float.

Non-fly fishing depends rather on the attached weight, usually made of lead, to draw the line off the reel and carry it forward to the right spot, where the weight will also take the bait or lure down to the feeding fish.
