May 9, 2008 | Leave a Comment

You do not have to go far to the seas, miles and miles away from the port or the shores, to enjoy some fly fishing. You can do the catching of fish right there at the port, whether alone or with your favorite fishing buddy. I took this picture of two fishers having some great time fishing at the famous, ancient (Biblical) Jaffa Port (also known as Yafo Port) in the city of Tel Aviv. Despite being crowded with fishing and charter boats, the Jaffa Port is one of the most popular fishing sites in Israel. Boats filled with great fish catches regularly come in from the Mediterranean sea. But of course, armed with even the simples fly fishing equipments, you may opt to do the fishing and enjoy a prolific afternoon.

Few Good Qualities to Have When Fly Fishing
May 3, 2008 | Leave a Comment
What are the qualities a great fly fisherman must have? Not much, albeit you do have to throw in some patience and tenacity as well as lots of humor (which you can use when you are fly fishing with your buddies) to really become one. Here is a few of them.

Be a wise buyer of fly fishing equipment. You must know how to find the best buys in fly fishing gear. Whatever fly fishing equipment – rod, line, bait, hook – that you acquired, naturally you want them to last for a lifetime. So it’s just common sense that you decide on the start to purchase the best quality angling equipment there is. Of course, if you are affected by monetary concerned then consider also finding the best products that can be bought at reasonable prices.

Be patient with those bites. Sooner or later, a bite on your bait will come. Just pray that it is from a trophy rainbow trout that you have always been dreaming to catch. Most of time, when fly fishing, patience is a must. I am sure every veteran fisherman will agree that patience is on top of the list of qualities that ensure success in fly fishing. Even if you have this sinking feeling on the start of a fishing session that it’s going to be a bad fish day, wait. Just wait and wait – even for some hours. A single fish caught after a long afternoon more often than not makes one feel rewarded. Indeed, patience is a virtue, especially in the case of a fly fisherman.
Be funny (at times) when fly fishing. This is not to say that the game of fishing is not a serious pursuit. It certainly is. But it does not require you to have a straight face all the time. Yes, you want to focus on your fishing and might even be visualizing hard on the trophy fish that you will eventually catch. But some dash of humor can be helpful on certain instances, especially if you are with your fishing buddies.

For example, it’s one of those fishing sessions with your buddies. And it’s turning out to be a not-so-productive day. You might have the tendency of distancing yourself with the rest while concentrating on your own stuff. Try to avoid this. The straight face look gives out an expression of disinterest and certainly will rub in on the rest. You yourself should try and make the effort of livening up the fishing session by starting light and funny conversations. This helps, especially if the mood within your group is becoming tense for being non-prolific.
With some humorous conversations injected within, everyone lightens up and the attention is momentarily taken away from the fishing. Surely enough, as the catches finally come in, you and your group become more exhilarated and excited in appreciation. It turns out to be one of the best fishing adventures you had with your friends.

Suspicious Carp

What is that? Well, for one thing carp are really good in detecting suspicious fly fishing baits.

So frustrating to see your carp sucking on your baits, then immediately it just gets blown out. You are not even given the chance to work on your rod for a fast pull.
Best Baits for Carp Fly Fishing
Which baits are labeled as attractive to carp fish? Corn, biscuits, bread, beans – these are looking great – and delicious – to the carp. These are feasts to the eyes of the carp so keep them coming to the water surface, surely the carp will happily go after them.

Have a piece of biscuit to your fly fishing hook, just make sure the bait hangs tough to it. As the fish get engrossed on your feeds, they will likewise take on your biscuit baits unnoticed. The trophy carp will surely enjoy these cheap baits – do your job well in presenting the baits to make them attractive.
Casting Baits Away from the Fish
The fly fishing tip on casting the biscuit or corn bait is never to throw it directly in front of the eating fish. Cast it a little far from the feeding carp and just pull it in slowly into the location of the fish. Feed the fish continuously to make sure they do not swim away from the bait.
