Fly Fishing 101: Lake Fishing Tips for Beginners | Ep. 137
Description
If your favorite river is crowded with a million anglers, or the creek is blown out from runoff, what are you supposed to do? Call it a day, go home, and watch YouTube videos of other people fly fishing? Of course not! Instead, you can head to the nearest lake or pond, and get into tons of fish. Plus, you can do it all with the same rod and reel you use for fishing in rivers.
This week on Untangled, Spencer Durrant will walk you through a beginner's guide to tackling lakes. From identifying where to cast, learning to locate spots fish are hiding, picking flies, and all the gear you need, you'll end this episode with plenty of confidence to go spend time on stillwater.
You'll also learn about:
- How to catch trout that are feeding on dry flies in a nice, consistent rhythm
- How much does a fly rod matter, and when to potentially upgrade yours
- Some tips about how to grip your fly rod for improved accuracy with dry flies
