Fishing Wet Flies

OK i started fly fishing and i don't know whats the difference between wet and dry flies?

whats the difference between wet and dry flies
and how do you know what fly is good for trout, bass , and etc.

Dry flies will stay on surface when you fish but you have to use a float ant after awhile like Gink or a spray that aids in keeping the fly floating.
And wet flies are fished just below the water surface film and imitate flies that have not made it or an early stage of bugs before they are ready to hatch.
And for which flies are good for trout is a big range of flies and also for the other fish you are asking about.
There is all kinds of info to be read on the web type in flies for trout and many things pop up can type in bass also the same thing many different info will pop up.
I guess the key would be to type in popular flies for fish around your area i done that where i live and many things popped up for one to utilize for their next fishing trip.

Flies Fly
For most outfielders, luck has nothing to do with catching flies
New research from Brown University supports a long-standing theory about how outfielders catch fly balls. The eye continuously tracks the ball as its visual velocity increases or decreases, and the outfielder runs backward or forward to compensate. Details are online at the Journal of Vision.

Ever since the 1800's in backwoods hollows of early America, fly fishing has been the staple sport for many anglers. In its early days, fish were snared to put food on the table. Today, fly fishing accomplishes not only catching a delicious dinner but also being a beloved North American sport. Additionally, fly fishing is popular not only in the US and Canada but also in Europe, South American and in Japan.

This is an ancient method of angling and known most as a means for catching salmon and trout. Today it is used to catch a wide variety of fish types which include: pike, pan fish, carp, grayling and bass. Fly fishing is used to also snare marine fish species which include: snook, bonefish, tarpon, striped bass and redfish. Sometimes fly fishers will catch fish they didn't intend to such as bream, rudd or chub while they are intending to snare the target types of fish such as trout. A lot of fly fishers hope to catch different types of fish with the fly they have as the lure.

In olden days, fly fishing was the main method of angling and was used to snare trout and salmon only. Today, bass, grayling, carp, pike and pan fish are often the 'catches of the day' when fly fishermen and women head to the rivers, brooks and lakes.

Using fishing flies for fly fishing is fun, Whether it be for fresh or sea water. Fly fishing in freshwater includes these different types as follow: cold water fly fishing (to catch trout, steelhead and salmon), cool water (to snare walleye, pike or perch) and warm water (for fishers who hope to catch bass, chub or catfish). Different techniques are used for the freshwater locations. Methods for fly fishing are different in streams, rivers, lakes or brooks.

Flies in the past were tied with any natural material but imitation substances are now not only popular but common. Flies are available in different sizes, patterns and colors to match the local aquatic insects, minnows or other bait which will attract the fish of the region.

Usually fishing flies designs are either 'attractors' or 'imitators'. The imitators will mislead fish through a very real imitation of baits or insects on which these fish will feed. These imitation flies don't have to always look exactly like the insects or bait, their furs and feathers look like the 'real thing' when deep underwater. Additionally, the imitation flies when underwater move with the current to defraud the fish into thinking they are living creatures.

Fishing flies lures known as 'Imitators' look close to the actual insects or small fish of the region customarily used as bait. Some 'imitators' may not look exactly like the bait materials but their movements in the water sufficiently simulate those of the actual lures. Fish will still bit fishing flies made of fur, hair or feathers as long as these baits move like the 'real thing'.

'Attractors' are constructed in bright and brilliant neon or fluorescent hues. The purpose of these neon colors is to incite an aggression response in the intended fish. The fish become aggravated and attack (bite) the lure. Popular attractors are found primarily in neon chartreuse or fuchsia. Common chartreuse fishing flies are the 'Green Weenie' types used by fishers all over North America.

Tip Fly

How can I get my budgie to fly to my hand?

I've had him for 3 months hes hand and shoulder trained. now i think its time to move to the next level. He will fly to my hand if he is in a uncomfortable position like on the side of the cage or the lamp shade but he will only fly to me if i'm only about 3-5 feet away. I want him to fly to me from far away. Anyone got any tips to get my budgie to fly to my hand. Thanks!

First find a treat he really likes. This will be his reward. Only feed him the treat from your hand. After he gets used to eating from your hand, start using it as a reward. Every time you call him and he comes give him the treat! Soon he will come when called for "free!"

Rio Fly

Travel logistics for Rio - Iguazu - Ilha Grande - Paraty?

Hi, I am travelling with 3 friends to Rio on Dec. 11th. We have 2 nights accommodation booked in Rio from Dec 11-13th. We need to be in Paraty from Dec 19th - 23rd for a wedding and we're then flying out of Rio on the 23rd. We would like to see the Iguazu Falls and spend some time chilling out on a beach (with some surf) before we go to the wedding. Therefore, my questions are the following:
1. Should we go to Iguazu Falls from Rio, then fly back to Rio and head for Ilha Grande and then Paraty?
2. We have heard that the Argentinean side of Iguazu is nicer. How do we get there from Rio and where should we stay (on a budget)
3. Where should we stay in Ilha Grande which would be on the beach, nicely chilled out, where we could do some surf and isn't too expensive?
4. How do we travel from Rio - Ilha Grande and then Ilha Grande - Parati?

1) It is OK to go to Iguazu Falls from Rio, then fly back to Rio and head for Ilha Grande and then Paraty. To go to Ilha Grande you take a ferry from Angra dos Reis. So the nearest airport is Rio de Janeiro anyway.

2) I also think that the Argentinian side offers nicer views and walks than the Brazilian, but it is no problem to visit both sides and having a look at the Itaipu power plant as well during a two days stay. A taxi takes you to the other side.

To go there you take a flight to Iguazu. Flights within Brazil are quite expensive but if you are lucky you can get a better price with one of the newer airlines (like Gol). The best possibility for flying within Brazil is the Brazilian Passport which is a round trip ticket with 4 or 5 flights for about 500-600 U$. This tickets are available at TAM and Varig. You have to buy them and book the flights outside Brazil and you cannot take a return flight without another destination in between. There may be even cheaper round trip tickets for restricted areas of Brazil (North, South East, Centre, ...). Check for the best possibility with a travel agency. Staying there should not be a problem. Pousadas normally are cheaper than hotels.

3) On Ilha Grande I would recommend to stay in the small village of "Vila do Abraão". There are lots of pousadas of all categories. You can go there and walk around to find one that you like.

For surfing the island is not the ideal place. As far as I remember there are only two beaches with rea-sonable waves. Lopes Mendes and Santo Antonio which face the open sea. To get there (which is extremely worth while) you have to take a boat or walk for quite some time. But on the other hand such a boat trip is also good fun and not very expensive.
Check it out: http://www.ilhagrande.com.ar/?sel_lang=en

4) To get to the Ilha Grande you take a bus from the Airport in Rio to the Rodoviaria (the bus station). There you take a bus to Angra dos Reis. There are several connections per day. In Angra you take a ferry to the island. There is another possibility to go to the island from Mangaratiba which is nearer to Rio but I do not recommend it because it is easy to get stuck there. In Angra there are at least two ferrys per day and there is also the possibility to hire a boat to bring you there.
To go to Paraty then you take a ferry from Vila do Abraão to Angra and a bus from Angra to Paraty.
Sometimes it is a good idea to buy the bus tickets in advance because there is no other way of making a reservation and buses tend to be fully booked because it is a convenient and relatively cheap way of transportation.

As with any style of fishing, the bait you use when ice fishing depends entirely on the kinds of fish you want to catch. Live bait is a much more popular choice among ice fishermen than their summertime counterparts, since the layer of ice and snow over the water stops light from glinting off metal lures designed specifically to attract fish in this way. However, it is important to remember that much of the appeal live bait has for fish is how it wriggles around, and hooked live bait dies much more quickly in the frigid water under ice than it does in warmer weather. Everyone has their own personal preference, but both artificial and live baits have proven very effective when used for ice fishing if they are chosen carefully.

The best live bait to use when ice fishing for small pan fish is insects. Maggots are the traditional bait to use because their movements resemble those of what the fish naturally feed on. Waxworms share much of the same appeal to fish as maggots except they are a little bigger. More recently, people have started to use Eurolarvae when they go ice fishing. Eurolarvae can be very effective because they come in assorted colors, including orange, red, blue, yellow, or white. Also, if they are properly hooked they can survive in the cold water longer than other invertebrate baits. The best artificial lures to use for pan fish are rubbery and resemble insects.

If you are more interested in catching walleye on your ice fishing expedition, some good live bait options are Redtail chubs, Crappie minnows, or Shiner minnows. Redtails have a red tail fin, which walleye find particularly attractive, and have become increasingly popular recently. Crappie minnows are the smallest variety of minnow used for ice fishing, and they are traditionally the most popular. Shiners are best known for summer fishing because sunlight glints off their silvery scales, attracting many varieties of fish. They are also a little bigger than the Redtails or Crappie minnows, and are good for ice fishing because they can stay alive on a hook under the ice for longer than the other two. Walleye can see shiny, silvery objects very well because of their large eyes, so if you plan to use artificial lures, go for the ones with reflective, metal parts.

If pike is what you are planning to pull out of your ice hole, you will have to choose a bigger variety of live bait. The most popular options are Fathead minnows or Suckers. Fatheads are sometimes only a little bigger than Crappie minnows, but they range in size much more, so the bigger ones are more likely to land pikes, while the smaller ones are better for catching walleye or perch. Suckers are one of the largest bait minnows available on the market, and are the best for catching pike. However, sometimes they can grow to fifteen inches long, which is usually too big to be used as bait. The best artificial lures for fishing for pike resemble small fish, and it is important to remember to jiggle the line when using these lures to make the lure look more convincingly like a fish. Pike are unlikely to bite an artificial lure if it is just hanging there in the water, no matter how realistic it looks.

Redington Crosswater
fly fishing leader to light?

I am a beginning fly fisherman and have a redington crosswater 5 wt. which I like, except in learning to cast I snapped the leader a couple times and lost the fly. The leader looks like about 4lb mono. Can I get away with using regular fishing line, say 6lb test as leader?

I'll try and explain what is happening maybe. Two things; 1. When you lift your line off the water and stop the rod at 1 or 2 o'clock, you are not waiting long enough for the line to fully straighten out behind you before going forward. This allows the leader to "unfold" behind you as opposed to snapping it like a buggy whip and thus breaking things. 2. You can use regular 4 or 6lb mono for leader but it will be more difficult for you to use as opposed to a tapered leader. The tapered leaders "thick section" attaches to the fly line and is stiff. This allows the leader to straighten out quicker during false casts as opposed to a regular mono line which will have a lot of "S"'s in it. I hope this all makes sense and helps you. Practice, practice and more practice.
