Hello world!

Greetings to All the Passionate Fishermen and women out there.

I am passionate about all types of fishing, especially Fly-Fishing.

 

Trout The Hunt Is On!

Trout come in a variety which include, brown, rainbow,brook,steelhead and cutthroat. They mainly live in North America, Asia and Europe, but they have been taken into other parts of the world because fishermen love trout for their size, colour and for the great sport of catching them.

Mainly you will find trout in cooler rivers and lakes. If you see fast flowing water turns to a slower pace or where deeper water turns to shallow, this is a good place to start looking. Trout fishing can be fun and sometimes these fish can try your patience because of their moody temperament.

Everyone has their favourite bait for catching trout and if you find something that works for you then stick with it, but if not listed below are a few ideas on what you could use.

Salmoneggs,crayfish,minnows,earthworms,insects,spinners,you should also consider using something out of the ordinary like a corn or a piece of marshmallow. All anglers seem to use the same baits and if you could come up with something different that the trout are feeding on ,you could be onto a good days fishing.

Fly fishing is another good way to catch trout. There are a number of different flies on the market to choose from and it is always good to have a selection. Some of the flies on the market do not resemble any insect or fly at all. This is because they are not supposed to as they are mealy food recognition as appose to imitation.

The feeding habits of the trout change from species to species as well as time of day and difference in waters, fast or slow. Many factors have to be taken into consideration when fishing for trout and no one thing can determine weather you get it right or wrong.

Trout are a very cunning and unpredictable fish and the more time that you spend practising the easier it will be to make the right choices to enable you to master this species. These fish will take a lot of time and patience to overcome, but if you can put in the time and gain the knowledge you will need your rewards will be worth it in the end.

Try to remember you do not need to imitate a specific fly or insect to catch these fish so try going for something that does not resemble any of flies you usually use. Give it a go, you may be pleasantly surprised and good luck.

Crappie Fishing In South Carolina

As with most states in the south, crappie fishing in South Carolina is potent much of the year. In some lakes here, you’ll find incredibly large specimens that make crappie from other areas of the country look like minnows. Where are the best lakes for crappie fishing in South Carolina, and what tactics should be used to assure the opportunity to catch these huge slabs? The first secret is that crappie fishing in South Carolina will be most productive in early spring, especially in April. While you can fish in the south pretty much year round, you’ll find the easiest catch in the month of April. You’ll expend less effort in this sort of excursion with greater return.

A visit to Lake Marion is sure to produce huge crappie. Here, you’ll find hundreds of brushpiles made of oak trees with green leaves where crappie like to stay overnight. Early morning crappie fishing in South Carolina can produce some large, slow moving crappie in the shallows under heavy cover. In order to catch these, it’s extremely important to have strong line because you can guarantee that it will get stuck on the brush at some point. Some of the anglers that frequent this lake recommend the use of 14-pound test line with fly rods. Some of these actually plant their own brush, using cinder blocks in which they can plant and sink the butt of a tree in the winter so that it is fruitful in the summer months. While you can find a few crappie in three feet of water around the cypress trees in early April, crappie fishing in South Carolina at this lake is best at depths of ten to twelve feet in twenty foot waters, where they prefer to spawn.

Because April is the best time of the year for crappie fishing in South Carolina, you will want to make most of your outings during this time of year. Be sure to visit Lake Greenwood, were you’ll come across some lunker crappie, as well as black crappie that are enormous in size. Here, you can start fishing productively in late March, looking at six to eight foot depths while the crappie are spawning. Fish off the docks in April because the stumps, piers, and boathouses provide preferable cover for these sunfish. Until the water temperatures don’t reach 55 or 60 degrees until late April, you’ll find the majority of your crappie hiding here. Try using leadhead jigs with rubber bodies and feathered tails, with the brightness of the jig opposing the lightness of the exterior conditions. If these don’t work, try minnows, and you are sure to produce a great catch.

An Introduction to the Art of Fly-fishing

Fly fishing differs from regular fishing because you don’t use a heavy lure and a light line. Instead, using a fake fly on the end of the line, you cast out a heavy line with a thinner leader on the end. Often a color of ribbon, thread, or fur is tied to the fly. This gives fish the impression that what they see is a bug that they eat. Fly fishing lines are much heavier than regular fishing line, but are often designed to float. There are two types of fly fishing. Dry fly fishing involves the fly remaining on the surface of the water. Wet water fly fishing involves sinking the fly down into the water. Both methods are very effective. The use of the techniques is up to the person fishing and the circumstances on “fishing trips.

Fly fishing is practiced throughout the United States and Canada. The most common states for fly fishing are Montana, Utah, Idaho, Colorado, California, and Alaska. This is because of the amount of fish flowing through the Rocky Mountain area. West Yellowstone is considered the major hub for great fly fishing. More fish are caught here than any other location. Areas of Canada including Alberta as well as other water areas throughout the world are great locations for fly fishing.

Fly fishing is a great sport enjoyed by fisherman all over the world. This method of fishing requires artificial flies, and a rod that is very flexible. The sport of fly fishing has been around since at least 200 A.D. The first knowledge of the sport is found in books written during that time period. Today the sport remains very popular. Most people fly fish for trout, salmon, and bass.

This sport of fly fishing continues to be very popular, with no sign of letting up any time soon. Fly fishing enthusiasts spend lots of time and money fly fishing. They buy the best equipment and travel to the best fishing locations, hoping to be lucky enough to catch that great fish swimming upstream.

The Recreational Value of Fishing

Many people consider that fish are only a medium of survival, or to some extent a food supply; yet there is another angle that is little known. The manufacturing industry utilizes more than two billion pounds of fish and fish by-products every year. This is slightly more than is used for food.

What most people do not know is that fishing continues to provide recreational activity of making it one of the most preferred hobbies.

In fact, fishing as a hobby is continuously growing and that is why the estimated number of people who acquire fishing licenses each year is more than 12 million.

Moreover, surveys show that for every dollar spent for a fishing license, there are sixteen dollars spent for equipment, such as fishing tackle, food, clothing, and transportation. There is more money spent on fishing than on any other hobby in existence.
Why is it a Great Hobby?

It is a means of providing something to free the mind and body of the worries of the day. It has also been proven to help in mentoring troubled teens, replacing negative thoughts and activity with more positive traits and pursuits. Fishing is truly a wholesome sport.

The use of all types of fishing equipment has added something that no other feature could possibly accomplish. Thousands of youngsters are enthusiastic to learn how to cast a fly or plug bait.

These youngsters have an interest in fish and fishing and they desire to fish in a lawful and recreational manner.

Boiled down, fish and fishing may be considered one of man’s essential resources. It is hoped that further realization of fishing as a hobby will develop the necessary knowledge of the true recreational value of fishing, the fish, and the general conservation of all natural resources as well as the value of good sportsmanship and developing good citizens.

Crappie Rods

Because of the nature of Crappie, pretty much any pole will suffice. However, beware as Crappie do not put up an admirable fight like other freshwater fish do. Sometimes, you may not even know that you caught a Crappie unless you are paying close attention. This is the main reason a lightweight pole should be used.

Cane poles are a good option if you are on a small budget. Cane pole sets can be found at just about any department stores fishing department or outdoors store. Cane poles work by tying a line on the end of the pole, and then dangling it in the water. Once a Crappie bites, you pull the pole in and the line out of the water with your hand. Cane poles do not contain any type of reeling mechanism.

Fly rods work in the same manner as cane poles, but they allow you more control over bait placement. Fly rods require an unique type of bait, so you may want to consider talking with a trained professional when buying your first fly rod.

Telescopic poles give you the length to pitch into heavy cover. Telescopic poles can reach lengths up to 16 or 18 feet. The most popular length however, is more along the lines of 10 to 12 feet. This way, if the cover you are fishing is wide, you have more control placing your bait in specific spots. Telescopic rods are also popular because you can collapse them to a much smaller version, allowing you to carry your pole with you. In the event that you decide to stop at the river on the way home, you always have a pole with you.

Your sons Snoopy pole or your daughters Barbie can even be used to catch Crappie. Because of the small size and structure of children’s pole, you are more likely to know when you are getting a hit from a Crappie.

Picking Your Pole For Your Situation

If your situation calls for precise placement and control, you may opt for a cane pole, telescopic pole. The sheer size of the poles allow you to reach over even the widest type of cover, allows you to place the jig anywhere. You will have minimal line control, but precise control over where the jig is placed.

Rod-and-reel poles, such as a regular fishing pole, or your child’s lightweight themed pole, offer broader applications than the simple poles. Beyond being useful for traditional long-pole jigging techniques, the same outfits can be used for casting or even be added to a trolling spread.
