Fishing Artificial Fly

Answers

types of artificial flies for fly fishing?

i need some fly types for these familys
heptageniidae
and
ephemoptera


If you go into any fishing tackle shop, you will find a plethora of fly fishing flys. In fact, you might find that the shop has an overwhelming amount of fly fishing flys. It can be hard to know where to even start looking, let alone how to know which flys to buy.

To help you out, here are some basic descriptions of some of the major types of fly fishing flys:

Wet Fly Fishing Flys

The flys are supposed to resemble certain insects as they would look beneath the surface of the water. Fish will bite at wet fly fishing flys, thinking that they are drowned insects, aquatic insects, or larvae swimming to the surface to hatch. When using wet flys, you are not necessarily trying to imitate a particular insect or fish, etc. (whereas you are trying to do so when using dry flies or nymphs). Wet fly fishing flys are supposed to imitate insects in motion… they look like they are swimming to the surface or drowning, etc. You do not need perfect technique to fish with wet flys.

Dry Fly Fishing Flys

These fly fishing flys are meant to resemble an insect floating on the surface of the water (although, some do not imitate insects, but rather frogs, snakes, or mice, etc.) To keep the fly on the surface of the water, many of them need to be oiled with something like Gink. Some flys rely on the surface tension of the water to float.

Nymph Fly Fishing Flys

A nymph resembles an insect living under water. It can also resemble certain larvae. Some nymphs may have added weight to keep it underwater.

Streamer Fly Fishing Flys

These types of flys do not resemble insects. Rather, they look like injured fish. If you are fishing for a predatory fish, a streamer fly is a good choice.

I need help trying to start fly fishing?

I am not talking about fishing for flys. I mean you use artificial lures that resemble bugs that live near or in the water

Fishing Meramec Springs~What to use?

We went fishing in Meramec Springs for trout, We arrived around 4:30 until 7:30, No luck. We also went fishing on the meramec around Sullivan under one of the highway bridges, Water was 5ft deep at the highest from 8AM-3PM, A few bass and panfish but that was it, many floaters.

This was our first time fishing on the meramec, and in the meramec springs which we heard was great fishing, Many trout but not biting.

We were using trout/panfish worms and some spinners, salmon eggs...none of it worked.

We are likely going they're again in the next week and am curious what kind of bait to use this time, We noticed some people using these Pink artificial worms that were working, but we don't know were to get them.

Were using reel rods, not fly fishing.

So need some suggestions of what bait and or lures work.

Thanks.


I never liked Meramec Springs much anyway and they made it worse 5 years ago with all those points on it.
I always had the best luck just upstream from the bridge out of the park at Meramec. I don't know how that hole looks anymore as I haven't been there in years (and I have no intention of going back).

Personally I'd make the extra 45 minute trip and drive to Montauk State Park (stay in Licking or Salem unless Reeds Cabin has some openings). There's less people and much better fishing (especially in the fly waters). Bennett Springs in Lebonan (sp) is also fine fishing.

Those two areas are much more restricted and you have to watch what zones you are fishing in. For example you might be able to use a treble hook roostertail in one area and only a single hook in the other.

Montauk has the better bait fishing (hole by the cemetary) and Bennet's bait area is a complete waste of time. The fly zone is EXCELLANT at Bennet and pretty darn good at Montauk.

I used to catch trout at Meramec Springs and Montauk by jigging "cheese worms". They are skinny worms about 2" long. I'd just put a big salmon egg hook right in the middle and slowly jig/reel it.

Rooster Tails work well in a bumble bee design. Meramec is pretty narrow so I'm not sure I'd use them.

But for bait fishing the best is Berkley Power Eggs (orange and pink are probably the best).
Get 1/8 or 1/4oz weight, swivel, 1 1/2 to 2' of 2lb liter, and a salmon egg hook. Put two of the eggs on.
They will swallow it though so mortality is high.

2 pound test is the key in everything you use.

Beta Fish Questions! (Please answers Beta Fish Owners!)?

So I have decided I want to buy a Beta fish to have in my room. So I have a couple of questions that I would like answered.

1. Is a 1 foot by 6 inch tank good for a beta fish?

2. Is it okay if every once in a while I give my beta fish like a house fly?

3. Is artificial rainbow gravel okay for the bottom?

4. How often should I clean the fish tank?

5. How many offspring do a male and female usually produce?

6. Do beta fish like to hide like in between artificial plants and rocks?

Thank you in advance!


1) How may gallons is that? They need preferably more than one gallon, 2 or more makes them happier and healthier

2) Yes, they can jump out of the water and will do this in the wild and even at home to get little flying inscets, you may need to consider A non-airtight lid to keep him safe. Make sure he gets plenty of air thoufh or he'll suffocate. He'll like it, just make sure it's small enough. If he dosne't make sure to remove the body before to long.

3) Yes, but I don't usually recomended it. Gravel has to be thuroughly cleaned every week as it can often be a breeding ground for things such as fin rot. I prefer marbles or river rock as I have found it easir to clean.

4) Once a week no matter the size. The tank/bowl won't usually look dirty but the amonia build up has to be removed to keep him healthy. Make sure to use an approariate amount of of water conditioner and room temperature water. Most stores sell them to you in a little cup. I often keep this and scoop my guy out with his current tank water so I can clean his home, once done and the water is treated, let it sit to allow the chemicals to disperse and make the water safe.

5) It can be a tremendouse amount! I considered it but from some second hand tales I was quicklly scarred away! You can have anywere from 50 to a few hundred! You must be prepared not only to care for the fry but the usually damaged parents and the soon to be seperated babies as they mature.

6) Yes, but be very carful! With such long beautiful fins they often will catch, rip and tear them on platic plants. I recomend silk plants as they are much more gentle to his fins, also consider this with his toys. Any sharp edges can tear his fins and this leaves him open to many infections.

Best of Luck!

Kentucky Fish book........?

I found an old book i had about Kentucky's Fish and their descriptions, common names, baits & lures, etc. A really interesting book. I'll share the Largemouth Bass with you right now.

Largemouth Bass
Also Called : Bigmouth Bass, black bass, green bass, bucketmouth bass, lake bass.
Distribution : Common in most waters throughout the state including still water areas of streams.
Descriptions : Greenish with a horizontal stripe of black blotches along sides. Upper back is much darker;lower parts are white. Named for it's large mouth, a largemouth's jawbone extends beyond the back of the eye;the two dorsal fins (spiny and soft-rayed) are nearly seperated or deeply notched. Most Largemouth bass caught in Kentucky weigh less than 10 pounds.
Habits : Spawning activities begins when water temperatures approach 62-65 degrees. At this time the fish are usually in shallow water (less than 5 feet) with the male guarding the nest. Largemouth bass may be found near logs, stumps, rocks, vegetation, and/or brushes along shorelines, points, bars, submerged islands or creek channels.
Fishing : This most abundant and sought-after member of the black bass family will strike a wide variety of artificial baits including crankbaits, spinnerbaits, jigs, buzzbaits, artificial worms, flies and popping bugs and natural baits such as crayfish, earthworms, minnows, leeches, frogs and salamanders.

In your answer, name a species of fish you want to know about and I'll post it on here.


Yellow perch please. I wonder if they are caught as far south as Kentucky?


Fly Fishing In Popular Culture

Fly fishing is an ancient style of fishing that has become an important part of popular culture. Images of it gear often evoke powerful emotions in the viewer.It was practiced at least as early as the 2nd century by Macedonian anglers; however, some argue that fly fishing may have originated even earlier with the Chinese.Little is known of the development of it from the 2nd century through the end of the 15th century. The English publication of a book in 1496 detailing dozens of artificial fly designs suggests that the sport was kept active during this period though. It continued to grow in popularity for some time in England, Scotland, Scandinavia and the United States. However, the sport eventually came to be viewed as an elitist sport, in part due to the high cost of fly fishing gear. Early fly rods were crafted from a tropical wood and later from bamboo. Both types of rods were expensive. By the 1920s interest in fly fishing in the United States had peaked.Following World War II, fly fishing interest increased in the United States again. The introduction of fiberglass fishing rods, mono filament leaders, and synthetic line all served to lower the cost of fishing gear. Fly fishing interest in the United States was once again on the rise. Many of our fathers and grandfathers were fly fishermen of this era, and the overall respect that is given that generation in American culture may be reason enough to explain the enduring strength of it in popular culture.Over the years Western it has emerged with its own cultural image. This may be due to several factors, including the American romanticizing of Western culture in general along with some brilliant marketing by early Western fly fishing entrepreneurs. The Western American cultural image of fly fishing is inextricably linked with horses, wide-brimmed hats, and leather apparatus. Western-clad fly fishers wading a rocky river while horses graze...
