Tips for a Novice Fly Angler?
I’ve tried fly fishing a couple times… now I bought a rod/flies/waders/etc. All dressed up and ready to go. I’m practicing my casts in my yard right now just to get the hang of it, but I just cannot wait to go out to the Bow River and give it a whirl.
So for you experienced fly fishermen out there… what kind of advice can you give a novice like me? In particular, what are some signs on the river that give clues to where the trout are, what they’re feeding on, and how to catch it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Look for rocks, logs, and other things the trout can hide behind. Trout tend to hang out downstream of rocks and other cover to break the current, then rise to feed. They return right back. Also, look for bubble lines in the water. You’ll notice that the current makes a V shape as it passes around rocks and other structure and bubbles that form on the surface will form a line leading downstream. Food for trout -such as natural flies- will also tend to flow along the bubble line as well and trout will be waiting to feed on them.
Watch closely for rising trout and when you see them hit the surface cast just upstream from them and let your fly drift down to them. It takes a bit of practice to read a river to find where the trout are but you’ll get the hang of it soon enough.
