Fly Fishing by Gabe Hitt Pdf

Fly Fishing is an angling method in which an artificial Fly is used to catch fish. The fly is cast using a fly rod, reel, and specialized weighted line. Casting a nearly weightless fly or "lure" requires casting techniques significantly different from other forms of casting. Fly fishermen use hand tied flies that resemble natural invertebrates, other food organisms, or lures to provoke the fish to bite at the lure. Fly fishing can be done in fresh or salt water. North Americans usually distinguish freshwater fishing between cold-water species (such as trout, salmon, steelhead) and warm-water species, notably bass. In Britain, where natural water temperatures vary less, the distinction is between game fishing for trout and salmon versus coarse fishing for other species. Techniques for fly fishing differ with habitat (lakes, ponds, etc). Learning how to become a great fly fisherman can be difficult, and people struggle for years to to pick up the basics. With this book you will learn proven methods that have helped others just like you, and many more, to learn how to become great at fly fishing in a very short period of time. LEARN:: Here is some of the things you will learn in the book What is Fly Fishing Why You Should You Learn to Fly Fish What You Need to Get Started Fly Fishing What length and size leader should you use? The types of Fly Fishing Knots How to Find Places to Fly Fish Understanding Trout and Their Environment How a Trout Sees His World The Food vs. Energy Equation The Three Types of Trout Lies The Different Types of Trout Flies How to Read a Trout Stream How to Approach a Trout Lie Basic Short Range Fly Casting Technique And much more...
