Here's a brief introduction to the fly fishing video channel:
Fly fishing for cobia
Fly rods and lines are the most widely used fishing gear for cobia fishing. But, it is important to consider the lure that you use when fishing. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type fly sinks and can be cast at high speeds. If a cobia swoops in and strikes the fly the hook will likely be cut. Next, sight-fishing is a good way to get cobia.
You should first dump all fly line in your backing. Allow the line to sink, strip it back quickly and repeat the process. A sinking line can help catch more cobia. It's also possible to use weighted flying flies. Sight casting can be difficult so you may also consider using a sinking line with a weighted flee. A ready-to-use fly rod is essential for cobia that are hungry.
Fly fishing for Tarpon
Fly fishing is the best way to catch a large tarpon. Tarpon are not like other saltwater species so it is important to know what to look out for when choosing a fly fishing pattern. The right size of hook and material will make a huge difference in your success rate. Lefty Kreh’s deceiver pattern is one of the best for tarpon. This streamer is tied on an 2/0 hook that will drive the fly home.
Tarpon fishing requires you to understand the natural feeding habits of the fish. Tarpon are active during the early morning hours, so try to fish for them right after the sun has risen. This will give you the best chance to catch a strike. Another option is to fish at night when the sun sets for tarpon. But you must keep in mind that tarpon are predatory, so it is advisable to avoid artificial light during the day.

These methods have been refined over the years, but they are still the core of tenkara. These techniques are known as "Shokuryoshi-school" methods. These techniques are also grounded in traditional techniques for catching fish.

How To
How to Cast a Fishing Rod Easily
When casting a fishing rod, the first thing to do is use your wrist to pull the handle towards the water. You should hold the rod at a slight angle to ensure the line is parallel with the ground. The rod should be moved forward with the tip perpendicular towards the water surface. The fish won't eat if the tip touches water's surface sooner than the line reaches bottom. This technique allows you to increase the distance from the tip of your rod to the water's surface.
These are some tips that will make casting a fly rod easier if you aren't confident enough.
Hold the rod as close as you can to your chest. You will be able to easily control the rod’s direction without having your back bent.
The tripod may be set up on the shoreline and/or on a rock edge to aid in casting a heavy-duty rod. You can rest the rod securely, while also holding the reel.
You might also consider purchasing a small reel rather than an expensive one. A cheap spinning reel will allow you to cast longer distances and will help you develop good hand-eye coordination.
Fourth, you might also consider buying a fishing pole holder. These holders are designed to keep the rod upright and hold it securely. They are easy to store after use and protect the rod against damage.
Fifth, practice casting until your muscles get used to it. Casting a fishing line takes practice.
Sixth, patience is key to successful fishing. You must wait for the right moment to strike and then fight hard to bring the fish in.
