Here's a brief introduction to the fly fishing video channel:
Fly fishing for cobia
Although a fly rod, line and fly are the most used tools for fishing for cobias, the fishing lure is equally important. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This fly sinks so it is best to cast it at high speed. When a cobia swoops down and strikes the fly, the hook will likely be cut off. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
To begin, dump the entire flyline into your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. Sinking lines are a great way to catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. If sight casting is difficult, you can also use a sinking line and a weighted fly. You should always have a fly rod ready for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing to tarpon
If you are interested in catching a big tarpon, fly fishing is the way to go. Tarpon are not your average saltwater species, so you must know what to look for when choosing a fly pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. The streamer is tied onto a 2/0 Hook, which will drive home the fly.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are usually active at dawn so you should fish for them after the sun has gone down. This will give you the best opportunity to get a strike. You can also try fishing at night for tarpon, when the sun sets. But you must keep in mind that tarpon are predatory, so it is advisable to avoid artificial light during the day.

How To
Finding the Best Fishing Spot
It is important to know the type of fish that you are looking for in order to find the best spots for fishing. Decide whether you want to fish deep or shallow waters. Deep sea fishing will require a boat which is costly. It's possible to fish from the shore for shallow water, which is free. If you are looking to catch trout, shallow water fishing is your best choice. However, if your goal is to catch barracuda you will have to venture out into deeper waters.
Depending on what you prefer, there are many options for fishing spots. Some places offer just one type of fishing; others offer several. For example, some places are known for their bass fishing while others specialize in fly fishing. Some places are well-known for their shark fishing and crabbing.
It all depends on what you enjoy doing, your budget and how long you plan to stay. Do you enjoy camping? A place close to a lake might appeal to you. Do you prefer city life? Maybe you prefer the ocean. You might even enjoy taking part in a sport such as kayaking, canoeing, sailing, scuba diving, or surfing.
If you don't know much about fishing, you could always ask someone who knows what they're talking about. You could ask them about everything, including where to go.
You could even try searching online for "fishing spots near me." This will give a lot of options. It would be great if you could narrow down your list of choices by reading reviews and ratings. There are plenty of websites that allow you to do this.
Once you have selected a location to visit, it is important that you actually go there. You should always have the directions handy as sometimes it can take longer to get there than you expected. Be sure to have all you will need. Remember to bring your bait, tackle box, sunscreen, and sunblock!
It's also a good idea to research the weather conditions at the fishing spot. Look at the forecast to determine when is the best time to fish. You might need to adjust your plans if the weather changes.
Now that you know where to go, you can start planning your trip. The next step is to decide what kind of fish you will be using.
