You can capture salmon and steelhead on a fly in seawater before they go into rivers. The fish are brilliant and strong and might still be actively feeding however the issue is to discover them in a huge area of water. In this episode, Tom Rosenbauer talks with Reed Teuscher of the Orvis Outfitters group, who informs us where to search for these fish, how to provide the fly, what type of rods and lines you require– and obviously what fly patterns appear to work best.
In the Fly Box, Tom responds to these concerns and more:.
- How can I keep my dropper from twisting around the leader when Euro nymphing?
- What type of flies are prohibited and why?
- If I just fish a couple of days a year, the length of time will my fly lines last?
- Do guides inform Tom “set!” when he fishes with them? And do they inform him where to put his flies?
- Do brook trout feed less than brown trout throughout generating season?
- Am I missing out on something by not constructing my own leaders?
- What does a 3-weight rod offer me that my 4-weight will not?
- When you under-line a fishing pole and increase your line speed, does that diminish your precision?
- On articulated flies with just a single hook, should I keep the hook in front or in back?
- I wish to find out to fly fish next season. Should I purchase a rod now and practice over the winter season before taking an FF101 class?
- I had a discouraging day with creepy brown trout. I might not get 25 feet far from them without startling them. How can I capture these trout?
- What fly patterns utilize micro mink Zonker strips?
