Fly fishing is all about presenting a fly that precisely mimics the color, size, pattern, and movement of the natural food supply that exists in that particular location at that particular time of year.
Selecting the best fly for the job is as easy as going to the fishing location to observe both ground-based and aquatic insects frequenting the spot. It is also good to pay particular attention to the types of flying insects and other food being taken while skimming the surface of the water.
They will move on the water like the fly that is being cast out, and they are therefore the easiest to mimic. Make sure the selected fly has attributes closely resembling the natural food of the species of fish being sought too. Insects might just be too small for the fish being hunted.
Once the color, size, and pattern match the fish’s local food supply it is time to work on presentation. The fly’s presentation is affected by an angler’s technique and the equipment being used.
Most crucial to casting technique is getting a feel for the movement of the line and the bend in the rod, as well as letting the rod tip follow down with the line and fly for a soft landing. With these tips a fly fisherman should in time be able to imitate the real thing pretty well.
If fish still don’t seem to be biting, the tippet could be influencing the travel of the fly. The tippet is the portion of line that attaches to the leader and to which the fly is tied.
The tippet could weigh just a bit too much and affect the way the fly hits and moves on the water, making it look less natural. In this case it is a good idea to try a lighter tippet.
On the other side of the coin if the species of fish is quite large and has rows of razor sharp teeth, going with the strongest possible tippet is best.
