When you are fly fishing, tying the right knots can make a world of difference in your success or failure. It’s important to not only select the right knot for the situation but also to tie it properly. Poorly tied knots will mean lost fish and frustration for you, so knowing about the right knots and how to tie them can be a huge part of the fly fishing experience. Before you tighten a knot, moisten it with saliva or with water you are fishing on. This will help the knot slide and seat properly. Lubrication also decreases excessive heat which can weaken the monofilament. Heat is generated by friction created when the knots are drawn up tight. Moistening the knot will reduce this heat and...

Fly fishing for bluefish is an awesome experience. It is something that most people have not heard of let alone done. The word "bluefish" usually conjures up thoughts of the large chopper-like 15 pound blues that are generally caught out in the oceans in deep waters. Although the larger chopper blues are the better known kind of bluefish that people fish for, there is lots of fun to be had fly fishing for their smaller cousins - the snapper bluefish. Fly fishing for the smaller 2 and 3 pound blues is usually done in back bays and this method of snapper blue fishing can be a very rewarding experience. Much like their larger relatives, snapper bluefish wage quite a fight for their size. Pound for...

ia is a travel destination which attracts more and more tourists every year. There are a few explanations for this, but the most important fact is that it is a huge country (in fact, it occupies an entire continent!), so the variety of landscapes, climates, reliefs, cultures, weather, habitats, cities is immense and therefore each vacationer finds there something interesting to do and to see. Hotels in Australia are spread out everywhere to welcome all holiday makers, but the best ones can be found in the main holiday spots and biggest cities such as Adelaide, Cairns, Melbourne, Brisbane, Sydney, Darwin, Perth and Victoria. Adelaide is the fifth largest city in Australia and it is the capital city...

The spring time spawn is over. Catfish are once again on the prowl in search of their next meal. The water temps have reached 75 or maybe 80 degrees. Days are hot and more suited for swimming and sipping on a chilly one but once the sun goes down and the air becomes bearable it is time to go on the prowl for your next line stretching adventure. Summertime is a great time to night fish for catfish. Not only is it cooler but all the ski and jet boats have gone home leaving the lake to the angler as well as the catfish that move into the shallows under the cover of darkness. Too many people focus on deep water for catfishing in the summer. By deep I mean 5 to 10 feet of water. You will find fish at...

Instead of naming each method, one by one, we will begin with the Texas rig and then the Carolina rig. From there we will move on to the Florida, Drop Shot, Weightless and the Swimming or Indiana rigs. Gear, knots, terminal tackle and reeling methods will be explained throughout also. A sad attempt at humor, I know. O.K., let's get down to business. The first worm rig was developed by Nick Creme from guess where, that's right, Texas in 1949. As it spread throughout the fishing industry the weed-less method of hooking the worm was developed, this is how the Texas rig was started and the rest of the styles followed in its wake. The Texas rig was the first rig that brought me into the world of...

For most Crappie fishermen, catching Crappie in the Winter is something that is just impossible. Many fishermen believe that Crappie can not be caught at all during the colder months. This just isn't so! Crappie have to feed during the Winter just like they do any other time of year. They're fish, not Bears. They don't hibernate! The nice thing about Winter Crappie fishing is once you find the pattern on a given body of water, they will normally hold that same pattern for many days, sometimes weeks. Of course, a storm front may shut them down for a day or so, but generally they'll come right back, hungry as ever! In most lakes at this time of year, Crappie can almost always be found hanging around...

We're nowhere near the height of the open water season, but I thought I would summarize what I know about wiper fishing. Bait fishing: Slip or egg-sinker rig, with 1-3' leader, baited with cut baits like carp, or shrimp, or live baits like crawlers or minnows. Worm harnesses bounced on the bottom, or pulled behind bottom bouncers from a boat also work on the bottom. Certain soft plastic jerkbaits are also said to work, although I haven't tried them. Bobber fishing: At the right time of year (Spring, early Summer, and Fall), a 3" live shiner or sunfish suspended 4' below a large bobber can produce nice fish in areas where wipers come in to feed around dusk (along dams or riprap, or on sandy bottom...

Part 2 - Developing a Pattern Based On Seasonal Tendencies of Bass By viewing pattern fishing from the seasonal tendencies of bass, you simplify finding and catching bass on any given day. You start with a simple pattern that may or may not have to be fine tuned for local conditions. Winter: Water is cold, even in central Arkansas. Water temperature is usually in the mid to upper 30's. Here comes that one day where air temps are in the 50's, you have been cooped up for a while and you want to go fishing. Where do I start and what lures do I use? Remember the general tendencies: During this period the bass are most lethargic. They tend to stay in one place and do not move far or fast to eat...

We all know that catching bass in early spring can be a somewhat, daunting task. The unpredictable and, often times, unstable weather patterns in early spring can reap havoc on what would otherwise be a great fishing opportunity. But, just in case you are wondering how to catch more bass in early spring, it really boils down to one thing and one thing only. Find the grass, and you will find the bass. Find the grass. No matter what lure you are going to throw, you will need to find the grass first. There are no obvious thick, green mats of grass covering the surface of the water this time of the year. If you know where the traditional areas are that hold grass on a particular body of water, start...

A fishing adventure provides the much-needed peace in the hustle and bustle of daily life. Fly fishing takes you into nature's lap and helps you relax and rejuvenate. Location for a trip is never a problem, nature has gifted us many water bodies and fly-fishing can be undertaken in any of them, be it the river, stream or the bay. Following are some of the well-known locations for fly fishing: 1. Chalk Streams of Hampshire, England: The modern fly fishing began at the chalk streams of Hampshire. This is the place where Izaak Walton, author of ' The Compleat Angler' practiced fly fishing. Even today, the English continue to undertake fly-fishing in the chalk streams, but since these streams are...

Large-mouth Bass Tactics are slightly different on Men-made lakes than on Natural lakes. Man-made lakes differ from Natural lakes in that the water level usually fluctuates much more. In many reservoirs, the water is drawn in fall to make room for spring runoff. Some reservoirs fluctuate more than 40 feet over the course of the year. With the water level changing this much, fish must move much more than normal. A creek arm that held good numbers of bass in spring may be completely dry in fall, so fish have no choice but to move along. Damming creeks, streams or bigger rivers creates man-made lakes, also called reservoirs . They serve several purposes, including flood control, supplying water for...

If you want to consistently know how to catch walleye, in the post spawn, summer, fall and cold water period I am going to tell you how to do it. Most anglers around the globe do not know how, let alone what, to use to catch walleyes on a consistent basis. Not to mention knowing what to use in the different places you will find them at different times of the year. Walleyes are always on the move - here today gone tomorrow - so you need to know where they are to be able to catch them. If you do not know that then how are you going to catch them in the first place! In the post spawn they will be on shallow flats because that is where there food will be located. A good presentation is using gulp alive...

If you are going to head out on the water for a bit of fishing, you need the right equipment. One of the more basic things you will need is to choose among fishing skiffs. The word skiff has been used over the years to describe a lot of boats that seemingly have no relationship to each other. The word comes from the same root as the word ship, which may be part of the problem. So, what exactly is meant by fishing skiff? One current example of a fishing skiff is a relatively inexpensive, flat bottomed boat with a pointed bow and a flat stern. They are intended for use in shallow inland waters. The original boats of this type were intended to be propelled by oars or poles, but recent models have been...

The cool evenings of fall signal water temperatures dropping in the lakes. That means fishing will go through another transition period. The lakes are turning over and the oxygen is getting mixed back into the deep water. The shallow water cools first, and this moves the baitfish and the gamefish up into areas where a crankbait or light jig will work effectively. A lot of people love fall because they make the transition and adjust their tactics to suit the situation. Others still insist on using the techniques that caught fish all summer, and sometimes these anglers can get very frustrated. One example would be the angler who uses his sonar in the summertime to locate a big school of walleyes, and...
