Do you ever wonder what weather fish like!?
As a fisherman you have in your diary the day or days you have blocked out to go fishing. This is a , the weather will not be the right type of weather for your planned days! It was perfect the day before and will be perfect the day after, but for your chosen day it is the wrong type of weather!
If it’s too sunny the fish disappear to the bottom of the river or find some shade and don’t appear again. Fishing when it’s sunny is wonderful from the point of view of the surroundings. Nothing could be nicer than standing in the middle of a river with kingfishers flying towards you close to the bank. But the fish just do not appear, do they?
If it’s raining I’m really not sure where they go, but they certainly don’t come to the surface! Cloudy weather is probably the best. I do think that you do have an advantage in cloudy weather and have a much better chance of catching one. Cloud is the boring weather – some would say a bit like fishing – but it’s neither sunny or rainy, and in my experience the fish do seem happier to take the fly in this weather.
The moon is another one! I fish for sea trout at night and if the moon is out, apparently the fish can see you.
To end, they always say a fisherman is never happy with the conditions, I think this just might be a true !
This was a great one!

Fly fishing is recognized as one of the oldest types of fishing developed incipient human communities for food providing. At first it was used mainly to catch salmon and trout but nowadays it is also a basic method of catching bass, pike, carp and other fish that live in the oceans. The term was generated in relation to the fisherman’s lure consisting of a insect-like hook made for the purpose of attracting the fish.
The instruments required by fly fishing are also called tackle, only that, when you want to be as specific as possible about the type of tools you need to add the word fly; so this is how fly tackle gets used. The structure includes the artificial flies, the fly rod which throws the flies and the fly line. In order to be able to throw the fly as far as possible the line should be a little heavier than other line varieties. Moreover, the artificial flies come in all sorts of shapes, sizes and colors depending on the type of fish intended to be caught. In general terms the materials the lures are made of include hair, feathers, fur and other fabrics that render the insect look necessary for the fly to pass as bait. Each fishing location demands a certain kind of artificial fly that will look like insects living in the area where your desired types of fish inhabit.
Hence, a certain type of fly used in one part of the country or region may not be as successful as you think in another. Another classification of flies is that which splits them into attractive and imitative. The imitative artificial lures are similar to real insects while the attractive ones use multi-colors and light reflection in order to attract fish without necessarily imitating fish prey. And yet another form of category splitting separates the fly fishing artificial lures into dry models that imitate dragonflies, grasshoppers and float on water, sub-surface designs (looking like larvae, pupae) and wet kinds very much like leeches and minnows. The difference between fly fishing and non-fly fishing is that the former relies on the use of the line weight and its cast range for the propulsion of the bait in the water. The latter non-fly fishing type, rather uses the lure weight rather than the line; as this variable makes it possible for the fly to get into deeper waters when the line is pulled down from the reel.
