Here's a brief introduction to the fly fishing video channel:
Fly fishing for cobia
The most popular tackle for fishing for cobia is a fly rod or line, but a fishing lure can also be useful. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. A sinking line will help you catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. A sinking line and a weighted fly are also options if sight casting is difficult. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon are not your typical saltwater species. This is why it is so important to be able to choose the right fly pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
Ken Tenaka's videos of fly fishing
Ken Tenaka has a number of fly fishing YouTube channels. You might have seen his video on fly fishing. He shares great tips with the fishing community through vlogs and edits. In fact, his show, Sport Fishing on the Fly, has been airing across North America for the past 26 seasons. Ken often ties new fly flies on the show and demonstrates new techniques and fly fishing locations.
Two types of videos are available from the New Zealand fly fisherman: the dry flies and an underwater version. His videos are full of detail and show how to tie the fly correctly. They're also highly entertaining, showing dry flies being tipped for the best results. In addition to the great information, the videos feature stunning cinematography. It is an entertaining and comprehensive look at fly fishing.
Hirata-san's tenkara fly fishing
Surprisingly, the methods Hirata-san uses for catching fish have been his mainstays over the past five decades. Although these methods have changed over time, they still remain the foundation for tenkara. These techniques are also known as the "Shokuryoshi school" techniques. They are also rooted in traditional methods of catching fish.
This video features the history of tenkara fly fishing and detailed instructions on choosing flies. Hirata-san uses a handfurled horsehairline and hand-ties his flies. He also shows how to tie horsehair lines without using a vice. The techniques he teaches include onstream casting, presentation, and hook setting.
FAQ
Is it safe?
It doesn't matter where you buy fish. Always ask the seller if their fish has a freshness expiration date. The fish is safe to eat if it doesn't have an expiration. But, don't eat the fish if it smells or looks old.
What kind of gear do you need for fishing?
You will need a rod, reel and line. Hooks, bait, tackle boxes, and snacks are also needed. Casting, setting up a hook and using a bobber are essential skills for catching fish. You must wait for the right moment and be patient.
What happens if a person is caught fishing illegally
Your license could be suspended or revoked. Before you start fishing, it is important to be familiar with the rules.
What type of fishing license do you need?
A fishing license must be purchased if you plan on fishing in state waters (i.e. rivers, lakes and bays). Fishing licenses are required by law in every state. If you plan on fishing in federal waters (e.g., oceans or Great Lakes), you must obtain a valid fishing licence. You do not require a fishing licence to fish in federal waters. If you intend to bring any fish home, you should first verify with the local authorities that you aren't violating any laws.
How do I bait my hooks with bait?
You can bait your hooks by attaching a piece de meat to the end of your hook. Tie the meat around the hook's eye.
Statistics
- You likely have a fish hooked if the bobber moves erratically for over 5 seconds. (tailoredtackle.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)
- It is estimated there are at least 2 million people who go fishing in California each year. (californiayachtsales.com)
- 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)

How To
Why would you need a spinning rod?
Spinning rods are used to cast your lure into water without having to leave the boat. It's a great choice if you don't want to lose too much time getting back into the boat after every cast. The spinning rod's purpose is to let you cast from any position and keep control of your line. The main components of the rod are the handle, reel seat, and butt section. You hold the rod with your fingers and grip the shaft. The butt section is where you attach the rod's tip to the hook. The reel seat is where the line is attached to the reel. There are many types of rods today. Some are specifically designed for certain fishing types, such as casting and trolling. Others are intended to be used for different purposes, such fly fishing or spin fishing, as well as bait fishing.
The type of rod you select depends on what kind of fish you plan to catch. If you want to target large predatory species, such as bass and pike, then you will need a heavier-duty rod. If you are targeting smaller species, such as trout and salmon, a lighter-weight rod may be more effective. You could even consider buying multiple rod sizes, depending on how large the fish you are trying to catch.
Spinning Rods are not limited to just freshwater fishing. They are often used for saltwater fishermanship. Saltwater spinning rods are generally heavier than their freshwater counterparts because they require stronger materials to withstand the rigors of saltwater. Saltwater spinners have a longer rod length and a bigger diameter. This allows them cast farther distances. There are downsides to saltwater spinning rods. Saltwater spinning rods are not like freshwater ones. Instead, you must purchase one separately. You will also find them quite expensive. A spinning rod is worth considering if you enjoy catching bigger fish.
Spin fishing refers to angling where a spin fisherman uses a spinning reel to cast a weighted bait into the water. The lure spins around the center point of the weighted lure as it swims through the water. This causes the lure and fish to move around in the water erratically, making it harder for them to identify the lure. The lure could also be mistaken for food by fish and they may begin to eat it. This will make the lure more attractive to fish. The lure will then attract more fish to the angler's reel. Once the lure is pulled, the fisherman can keep going until he catches the desired number of fish.
