The+Techniques

There are many types of techniques and what we call "presentations" that are used to fly fish. I will cover some one the most basic techniques.

 * Dry Fly Fishing-This type of fishing is using a fly that imitates a actual bug. This is where you will hear the term "Match The Hatch". The fly is cast out and typically "dead drifted" in the current making it look tasty to a big trout! These flies are fished on top of the water. Hence Dry Fly.
 * Nymphing- Using a fly that is fished sub surface. These typically represent bugs that are in the pupa stage of life. They can be fished under and indicator (bobber) or on a tight line.
 * Swinging- This technique uses flies that typically imitate minnows or other larger food sources. Fly is sub surface and cast across the current and then allowed to swing with the current.These flies can range in any color.
