There are basically two key factors be fulfilled in order to be successful on a fly fishing trip. First is intuitiveness in location of the fish hiding areas and their pattern of feeding. The other is mental preparation to take part in the undertaking and have the necessary tools needed in accomplishing this. Adequate preparation is emphasized in Guadalupe fly fishing guide.
Make sure you regularly review maps. They are a great way to know the fishing area and identification of new areas to fish at too. Many of them are quite expensive but you can get around this by photocopying the part you are interesting in only. The angling guide booklets can be a source of important information as far as fishing is concerned.
A six-weight fishing line is appropriate in many types of angling. During the heavy rains, you may have to switch to a seven-weight one. Still, some situations call for the use of a nine or eight-weight type. Judge the situation independently and determine the most suitable one.
For controlling large fish, heavy gear is needed. In case you have brought a friend along in this trip, it would be wise to use different rigs for each rod. Sharing the rods as the situation dictates saves a lot as far as rig changing and chopping is concerned. This can increase the time taken in angling. Also, an extra rod should be brought along to save the day in case the original one breaks.
Do not forget to bring along a spare reel. Just one is enough to pack the three types of angling lines. You may be required to use all of them when out angling. Do not be afraid to go deep into the lakes. The reels purchased should not be metallic and the drag system must be quite reasonable.
The popular kind of the lines is the floating type. The position of the weights should be forward especially if the cast are being made into the airstream. Do not purchase bright colored ones. A grey, dull green or light brown color is just fine. They are better at attracting spooky brown fish at the streams headwater or at the edges of the lake.
The sinking type is the best to use when the angling session is taking place at night over lakes which are upcountry or having deep beds of weeds. The presentation of a lure determines whether you will fail or succeed in the process. In fishing at water bodies which have slow moving water, a type of sinking lines referred to as type 11 is the most effective.
The shooting head lines are the last type of angling rods. Their use is common in angling at the river mouths. A point to note is that the fly line should be regularly cleaned of any present grit and taken out for stretching when the fishing season gets near.
