In the world of fishing, people use lures to catch fish. In the
sport of fly fishing, we use flies to entice the fish. The diet of a
fish are bugs so many flies resemble bugs to catch the fish. We try to
copy the bug's appearance and habits so the fish will strike the fly.
These bugs may include flies, grasshoppers, and other insects the fish
will eat.
Another resource to consider is the location the person is fishing at. You want to use flies that resemble insects in that particular location. You really want to copy the insects movement to attract your particular fish you are trying to catch.
You can purchase these flies at most sporting goods stores for a certain price or you can buy a fly tying kit and make your own. There are plenty of resources to make your own flies with plenty of books on the subject. At any rate when going out in to the field try to make sure you have several different types of flies to try. That way if one lure does not work you can try another until you find the right one to catch the fish. Also try to remember different flies attract different types of fish.
When arriving on the water observe the insects around you and get an idea what the fish are feeding on. You can even take a small net like a minnow net and try to catch a few insects and then see it you have a fly that looks like the insects you caught. Try to match the size and color of the insect you caught in the net. Tie your fly on and give it a shot. You will have a good chance of catching something.
After you determine what type of insects are in the area and you have selected your lures to use you will know what the fish are feeding on. But presentation is everything. For example, if the insects are floating in the area then you want to float your flies. If the insects are under water then put your flies under water. If nothing else fails then try both techniques until the fish strike.
Another point is to have flies that are simple. In fly fishing many lures are to look natural like the insects of nature they are mimicking They are small and simple, not fancy like regular bass fishing.
Using the right lure or fly, plus presentation can make all the difference in the world in catching your fish. The art of fly fishing is a natural approach to fishing and can be a lot of fun. Good luck to you and I hope you catch a lot of fish!
