Free Fly Fishing Basics

There is a code of honor amongst those who enjoy fly fishing. Secrets aren't part of the code. That is why Fish On Anglers, LLC, is here to give some primary advice for ensuring you catch the most trout or salmon you can.

Here is a list of fly fishing basics that even master anglers use to this day:

• Silence is a virtue, even when fishing
• While wading, always wear slip resistant shoes and carry a staff for safety
• Avoid wearing brightly colored clothing, so you can blend in with your surroundings
  
• Watch your shadow, as fish will be scared off if they see it
  
• Polarized sunglasses will allow you to see the fish better in the water

By following these golden rules, you will have a more successful, not to mention safer, fishing foray.

Illiteracy is an unfortunate thing. If you don't know how to read, your chances of success are lessened. The same principle applies in fly fishing, believe it or not. Learning how to read a trout stream used to be one of the best kept fly fishing secrets. Not anymore, thanks to instructional videos from Scientific Anglers. After viewing, anglers will be able to read the stream like a liquid book and thus ascertain where the fish are for the day.
