Does the fly you fish matter greater than the way you fish it? That query is the crux of Dom Swentosky’s newest story over at Troutbitten.
I agree with Dom’s premise that ” I believe the way you fish your handful of flies is normally extra essential than what these flies are.” I carry simply over two dozen totally different patterns with me, and I’m capable of fish effectively sufficient all through the Rockies that I haven’t seen a have to dramatically improve the variety of flies I’ve. Actually, I’ve consolidated from my days of hauling 8 fly bins to the river each time I went fishing.
Anyhow, Dom actually dives into the weeds on this matter (as you’d count on from him) and does an excellent job explaining the reasoning behind his fly decisions. He advocates for the usage of “junk flies,” like mops, Inexperienced Weenies, and egg patterns, as a result of he says it’s his expertise that fish will transfer additional to eat them than pure flies.
“My fly bins are fairly evenly divided between all three kinds, however I normally tie on the attractors or junk flies first,” Dom writes. “If it’s a type of good days once they don’t demand pure patterns, I really feel I’ll catch extra fish utilizing junk flies as a result of trout transfer additional for them.”
How he fishes when he makes use of pure patterns is totally different, although, as Dom says he’ll decelerate and extra totally choose over water if the fish aren’t transferring on the gaudy junk flies that day.
It’s an fascinating learn, particularly as we wrap up the final of the perfect fall fishing right here, usually with a variety of junk flies. Yow will discover the complete story here.
