Thumbs up the best top ten tips!!

the tips

1.Make sure you know what your doing you cant buy a rod and not know what to do!

2.Vary where you fish.Dont stick to the nearest fishery-and go on fishing holidays!(of course money is involved)

3.this is a very important one!wear sunglasses to protect your face!
even when its raining-you may look barmy on a rainy day!

4.Experiment!
change you flys and animate them in different ways.Also cast into different parts of the water!

5.Buy a magazine weekly or a book-magazines are good because you get free flys and new info every week!

6.Never fish off the same spot!


every fisherman should know this!

7.Windy means stop!


Trust me you dont want a fly in your eye or down there!

8.When you cant go fishing on a sunny day because somthing or other!
practice int the garden(i have a big one)or an open field!

9.do research on the internet and watch other videos

10.Have fun and i hope you all will become pros

will!
agree with the last one and feel free to debate

Fly fishing rods go on where you are fishing
long rods for resevoirs
shorter rods for rivers
short rods for streams

at first start with a floating fly line


get lessons to casting IS AN ART FORM and you need someone watching you to correct your faults and telling you how to cast
