Does the fly you fish matter more than how you fish it? That concern is the core of Dom Swentosky’s newest story over at Troutbitten.
I concur with Dom’s facility that” I believe how you fish your handful of flies is normally more crucial than what those flies are.” I bring simply over 2 lots various patterns with me, and I have the ability to fish well adequate throughout the Rockies that I have not seen a requirement to significantly increase the variety of flies I have. In reality, I have actually combined from my days of carrying 8 fly boxes to the river each time I fished.
Anyways, Dom actually dives into the weeds on this subject (as you ‘d get out of him) and does a fantastic task discussing the thinking behind his fly options. He promotes for using “scrap flies,” like mops, Green Weenies, and egg patterns, due to the fact that he states it’s his experience that fish will move even more to consume them than natural flies.
” My fly boxes are quite uniformly divided in between all 3 designs, however I normally connect on the attractors or scrap flies initially,” Dom composes. “If it is among those great days when they do not require natural patterns, I feel I’ll capture more fish utilizing scrap flies due to the fact that trout move even more for them.”
How he fishes when he utilizes natural patterns is various, however, as Dom states he’ll decrease and better choose over water if the fish aren’t proceeding the ostentatious scrap flies that day.
It’s a fascinating read, specifically as we finish up the last of the very best fall fishing here, frequently with a great deal of scrap flies. You can discover the whole story here.
