Saltwater Fly Fishing
from:When you begin to venture into saltwater fly fishing, you are opening yourself up to a whole new fly fishing experience beyond any other. Obviously, saltwater fly fishing is done on the coastlines of the United States and internationally where the oceans are. Great saltwater fly fishing can also be found in the Gulf of Mexico off the coast of Texas and Florida.
When you are fly fishing in saltwater, you will be doing most of it from the comfort of a boat. The fish you will be catching are going to be larger than freshwater fish, and you will find many different species that cant be found in rivers and streams. When saltwater fly fishing, you will be able to catch record size tuna, tarpon, seatrout, and mackerel, among other species.
The best fly rods to use would be those in the 8 - 9 foot range meant to cast a 7 10 nwt line. Some fly fishers use shorter rods for tighter work, and longer rods when casting distance is important. When considering reels, the drag system becomes prime in importance because the size of the fish will require you to gain as much control over the reel as you possibly can.
When choosing your line, it is certainly a matter of preference. Some people like to have brighter colored lines for easier visibility while others think its important to go for blending when it comes to the line so the fish wont shy away from it. Choose an appropriate weight for your fly rod and one that can handle the types of fish you are angling for.
When you are saltwater fly fishing, the tidal action is the engine that drives the atmosphere of the fish available. The tidal movements carry in different types of marine life that live in the channels as the tides roll in and out. Knowledge of the timing and strength of tides is essential to making a saltwater fly fishing outing both productive and safe.
Water temperature is another huge factor in saltwater fly fishing. When it is too cold, the fish are sluggish, when it is too warm, the fish are going to the cool spots. Look for waters that are tepid and you will find some huge fish that are trophy-sized and can provide an amazing experience.
Saltwater fly fishing isnt for everyone, but it can be a great way to expose yourself to a new aspect of the sport. If youre looking for a challenge, fly fishing on saltwater could be a great eye-opener for you. Youll find prized game fish and be able to test your fly fishing skills in ways you cant even imagine.
