What are some good tips for a long time bass angler starting to fly fish for trout?

I have been a long time tournament angler for black bass. But starting out (as of last week) fly fishing for trout, casting is ok, but it seems that is one thing that will always need improvement. Would love some tips on books, vids, what flies to use when, ect. I live in MT and have acess to great fishing, so any clues to a good beginner spot would be a plus, and let me know if you want to go fishing!

The internet is full of resources. Coming from a bass background, you may find the most similar and most forgiving set of flies to use are streamers like wooly buggers and clousers because nymphs and dries require more experience to drift without any drag. You can use a heavier tippet like 4x and tie on a lightly weighted bugger, then just work it like you would a jerk bait, jig or plastic worm - up down or across they all work. Try stripping line at different speeds or just letting the fly hang in the current when it gets below you and slowly strip it back. Use a short leader and tippet no more than 8 feet until you get comfortable. Even 6 feet can catch fish if you have trouble getting the cast down with a longer leader. Pay special attention to areas under riffles and it's hard to go wrong. Use these in larger water if you can (2 feet deep is getting into good streamer water), then once you become more comfortable with casting a fly rod you might hook up with a fishing buddy to show you how to drift a dry fly. At that point you'll just need to slow down your cast and watch how others fish - there is little substitute for direct observation. Nymphs are probably the most difficult because if you use an indicator you'll get a lot more wind knots at first, and without one you really have to be familiar with presenting blind, drag-free drifts.

The Nantahala River fly fishing for trout is a feast for all fishermen. Fly fishing in winter and spring can bring problems, but the river is equipped with rainbow, trout and brown trout and should therefore be able to capture at least some fish dry fly, drowned fly or nymph. Fishing in this area is not only a pleasure because you have the opportunity to catch big fish, but many because the region is so beautiful.

Walking through the Nantahala River gorge overlooking the breathtaking that you will never forget. Although the leaves fallen trees that does not mean there are not many impressive views of the river and mountains. The "superior" Nantahala River is given water during the winter and spring, so it should be a population at high trout you catch. During the coldest weather of the year is somewhat of a challenge to fish for trout with dry fly, but it gives you the opportunity to master their nymph fishing abilities.

Using some basic models, such as ear nymph, Pheasant tail hair and you should have no trouble getting at least some bites. Having the ability to recognize and bite the hook is a different story. The trout in the headwaters of the Nantahala River are not too demanding for the presentation of the nymph to these practices should not be a problem. Do not forget to take our strike indicator, as they spit often the pupa before releasing them hooked.

Taking a trip to the mountains of North Carolina for a Nantahala River fishing trip is always a fun and exciting adventure. There are many other opportunities in an around the Nantahala River gorge so make sure to check it out before your next vacation.
