Fly fishing videos are one of the most powerful tools. Watching them can give you great tips and tricks. These videos are available for free, or you can pay a small fee to subscribe to the Double Badger Media flyfishing video channel for updates and fascinating stories. Here is a brief overview of the fly fishing video channel.

Fly fishing for cobia

A fly rod and line are probably the most commonly used tackle when fishing for cobia. However, a fishing lure is an equally important tool. A baitfish-patterned fly is the best choice. 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, you can practice sight-fishing to catch 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. Weighted flies are also available. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. For hungry cobia, you will need a fly rod.

Fly fishing for tarpon

Fly fishing is the best way to catch a large tarpon. Tarpon are a different species than your average saltwater fish, so you need to know what to look at when choosing a fly-fishing pattern. The right size hook and material can make all the difference in your success. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver is one the most popular patterns for tarpon. This streamer can be tied on a hook of 2/0, which will propel the fly home.

When fishing for tarpon, you need to be able to target their natural feeding habits. Tarpon are most active in the morning, so fish only after the sun has set. This will give your best chance of landing a strike. Fishing at night for tarpon is also possible, as the sun sets. But you must keep in mind that tarpon are predatory, so it is advisable to avoid artificial light during the day.
