What flies do you use for fly fishing?
Dry Flies: Dry fly fishing flies and other surface flies represent adult aquatic insects that emerge from the water, sitting on the top. They can also look like grasshoppers that fish will try to eat. Dry flies are good for trout, panfish, and bass.
Wet Flies: Wet flies imitate aquatic insects swimming to the surface. They are very effective for trout, panfish, bass, salmon, and steelhead.
Nymphs: Nymphs imitate young insects in their larval form that live in the water. Nymphs are very effective for trout, panfish, salmon, and steelhead when fished on or near the bottom of lakes and rivers.
Streamers: Streamers are a great basic fly for the fly fisher. Streamers can be used as bait to imitate baitfish, leeches, and crayfish, all primary food sources for fish. Streamers can be used in both rivers and lakes. Practically every species of fish can be caught with a streamer.
Saltwater Flies: Saltwater fly fishing flies imitate the many food sources found in the ocean, such as baitfish or shrimp. The pattern these saltwater flies make on the water will help you catch just about anything!
Salmon and Steelhead Flies: Salmon fly fishing flies are designed for Pacific and Atlantic salmon and steelheads. These fishing flies often don’t mimic anything specific but trigger an aggressive response.
How do I identify fly fishing flies?
There are thousands of different types of patterns and sizes of flies. However, fly makers will use a few primary facets to make the fly look similar to the insect the fly is mimicking. Their feathers will come from animals like ducks and chickens, while their main bodies will be composed of things like fur and foam. These materials are designed to make dry flies float, making them a visually enticing way to fly fish.
Saltwater flies are more noticeable and in brighter colors than their freshwater counterparts. These flies are designed to catch larger fish than those found in freshwater. Saltwater flies must also hold up under harsh conditions like exposure to sand, coral, intense ultraviolet rays, and sharp-toothed fish like barracuda and sharks. They also have heavy gauge hooks are made from stainless steel and have chemically sharpened hook points. The sharp hook points help penetrate the bony and toothy jaws found on saltwater fish.
