One of the most effective tools for fly fishing is video, and you can get great tips and techniques by watching a fly fishing video. These videos can be obtained for free or a small subscription fee. You can also subscribe to Double Badger Media's fly fishing video channel to receive the latest updates and to hear the fascinating stories behind the footage. Here's a brief introduction to the fly fishing video channel:
Fly fishing to cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. You should use a baitfish-patterned fly. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. The hook will be likely to be cut off when a cobia swoops over and strikes the fly. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The fly line should be emptied into your backing. Let the line sink for a while, then quickly strip it back and start over. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. Weighted flies are also available. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.
Fly fishing for tarpon
Fly fishing is the best option if you want to catch big tarpon. Tarpon is not your standard saltwater species. You need to know the basics of fly fishing. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
Fishing for tarpon requires that you are able to target their natural feeding patterns. Tarpon can be active early in the morning so make sure you fish just after the sun has up. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Also, try fishing at night to catch tarpon after the sun goes down. You should remember that tarpon are predatory and it is best to avoid artificial lights during the day.
Ken Tenaka's Fly Fishing Videos
Ken Tenaka has a number of fly fishing YouTube channels. You might have seen his video on fly fishing. His YouTube channels include vlogs, edits, and great tips that he shares with the fishing community. Sport Fishing on the Fly, his TV show, has been airing across North America over the past 26 seasons. Ken often ties a fly on the show to show new fly fishing techniques and locations.
Two types of video are offered by the New Zealand fly angler: dry flies as well as the underwater version. His videos are full of detail and show how to tie the fly correctly. These videos are also very entertaining and show dry flies being tipped to get the best results. Amazing cinematography is featured in these videos, which offer excellent information.

Hiratasan's tenkara flyfishing
You might be surprised to know that the methods that Hirata-san uses to catch fish have been his mainstays for five decades. Although these methods have evolved over time, they remain the foundation of the tenkara technique. 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 hand-furled horsehair line and hand-ties all of his flies. He also shows how to tie horsehair lines without using a vice. Onstream casting, presentation and hook setting are some of the techniques he will teach.
FAQ
How big should my tacklebox be?
Because you will need ample space to store your fishing gear, a large tackle box is essential. The number of items inside a tackle box will determine its size.
Can I fish during the day or night?
Yes, but make sure to use artificial light. Artificial lights are used by fishermen to attract fish. They work well when the sun goes down because fish become more active after dark.
How long does it take for a fisherman to be an expert?
It takes years of practice to become an expert fisherman. You will be a better fisherman if you learn new techniques and improve your skills.
Which rod should I choose?
The best rod for fly fishing is made from graphite fiberglass composite. This material has exceptional casting qualities and is strong. To learn how to cast better, you will need to practice with graphite rods.
How far away should I stand while fishing?
The farther you are from the shore, you're more likely to catch fish. This also increases your chances of getting wet.
Are special licenses necessary to fish?
You cannot unless you plan on taking fish out of the state or beyond county boundaries. Many states allow anglers fish without the need for a license. Find out the requirements by contacting your local Fish & Wildlife authority.
Statistics
- 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)
- 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)
- For most freshwater species you are most likely to target when first starting out, a reel size of 20 to 30 should be more than enough! (strikeandcatch.com)
- About 40 percent of all fish are freshwater species. (takemefishing.org)

How To
Why should you use a spinning rod?
The spinning rod is useful when you need to throw your lure in the water and not have to get out of the boat. If you don’t have the time or desire to get back in your boat quickly after each cast, it’s a great choice. The spinning rod's purpose is to let you cast from any position and keep control of your line. There are three components to the rod: handle, butt section and reel seat. The handle is used to hold the rod, and the shaft. The rod's tip is attached to the hook at the butt section. The reel seat holds the line to which it is attached. There are many different types of rods available today. Some rods are made for fishing specific techniques, like trolling or casting. Others can be used to fly fish, spin fish, baitfish, and so on.
The type you catch will affect the type rod you choose. You would need a heavy-duty rod if your goal is to catch large predatory fish like pike and bass. A lighter-weight rod might work best if you were targeting smaller species like trout or salmon. You could even consider buying multiple rod sizes, depending on how large the fish you are trying to catch.
Spinning Rods aren't limited to freshwater fisherman. They are used extensively for saltwater fishing. Saltwater spinning is more heavy than its freshwater counterparts. It requires stronger materials that can withstand saltwater. Saltwater spinners often have a longer rod but a smaller diameter. They are able to cast farther distances thanks to this rod. But, there are some drawbacks to saltwater fishing with a spinning rod. Saltwater spinning rods are not like freshwater ones. You must buy one individually. The second reason is that they can be quite expensive. If you are interested in catching larger fish, a spinning rod might be worth looking at.
A method of fishing that involves using a spinning rod and a weighted lure to cast into the water is called spin fishing. The weighted center of the lure turns as the lure moves through water. This causes the lure and fish to move around in the water erratically, making it harder for them to identify the lure. Fish may also mistakenly eat the lure for food, and begin to feed on it. As a result, the lure will attract more fish to it. The lure will then attract more fish to the angler's reel. Once the lure has been retrieved, he can repeat this process until the desired number of fish has been caught.
