Warm Water Fly Fishing Different Game With New Rules
It is a different game with different rules when you go warm
water fly fishing as the species will attack and respond to reactions
differently than the fish typically caught on flies in colder water. Most fly
fishing relates to trout or salmon and the techniques are similar, as they are
usually very aggressive feeders. With many of the fish found in warm water, fly
fishing is a different experience even if you have caught them on regular
casting tackle in the past.
Some of the species that can be caught on flies include
large mouth and small mouth bass, crappies and blue gills along with rock bass.
While bass have a reputation for violent strikes, their mouths are considerably
tougher than many other species of fish and that makes it difficult to set a
hook deep enough to insure a solid catch. When warm water fly fishing for bass,
the best technique is to keep the tip of your rod pointed at the fly at all
times.
A straight pull is the best way to set the hook on a bass,
even though raising the rod tips works with traditional casting equipment, with
flies this will only succeed in giving the fish a grip with it mouth, enabling
it to merely let go and swim away at any time. If you try warm water fly fishing
for bass, deer hair tied flies are the best to use but a wooly bugger or a
muddler minnow can also bring success.
Pan Fish Offer More Fun And Excitement
While many argue that bass of any variety can provide a good
meal, pan fish such as blue gill and crappies not only taste good, for the
sport of a good fight, even smaller pan fish can put up a good battle. When you
go warm water fly fishing and are in the mood for crappies, try a streamer fly.
Crappies prefer a diet of minnows and using streamers can
easily trick them into believing they are in for a treat. Crappies are seldom
leery at the sight of a leader as are trout, and using a soft 10-pound leader can
help with your casting. Fishing from the shore can be done if there is enough
room for casting but considering the deeper waters you will be fishing for
crappies wading will probably be out of the question. Casting from a boat is
probably your best bet.
