What Fly When???
When on the stream, fishermen face the constant struggle of selecting the right fly for the right moment.
When attempting to ‘match the hatch,’ anglers must take into account different variables such as the season, time of day, weather conditions, water temperatures, and active hatches.
There are, of course, situations when it is nearly impossible to accurately select the perfect fly, such as during warm mid-afternoons, and during days when there are no visual clues as to which hatches are rising. For these situations, it is a very good idea to have a box of ‘generic’ flies.
Most commonly, this family of flies consists of flies such as the Usual, a fly that I will take time to thoroughly discuss tomorrow, the terrestrial group, such as inchworms, ants, and hopper, and many different streamers, like the Grey Ghost, the Squirrel Tail, and the crayfish family.
These flies are important to even the most advanced fishermen, due to there flexibility. I will continue to discuss this topic of fly selection throughout the next few weeks, and will reveal to you all my favorite flies, how to tie them, and how to properly fish them.
