Fly Fishing: Fly Tying by Marilyn Roberts
Fly Fishing is a very popular sport among anglers as it takes a lot of practice and skill when first starting out. Fly Fishing differs from other kinds of fishing in that you use a special kind of lure and artificial fly and your line is not weighted, so the fly floats on top of the water.
Fly Fishing is a great way to challenge yourself and relieve your stress at the same time. It takes real skill and a lot of practice to master.
Flying ties can be an art for the fly fisherman. When first beginning there are some basics you need to know:
Line – Fly fishing line comes in several weights and the type you will be using will depend on what you will be fishing for.
Fly Tying – If you do not properly tie the fly while you are fly fishing you could lose a fish just after you hook it.
The fly is actually tied to the tippet which is at the end of the fly fishing line. The easiest method for fly tying is the clinch knot but it can only be used for under twenty pounds.
Clinch Knot – For fly tying with the clinch knot you have to put five or six inches of the tippet through the eye of the hook. Then take the tag end of the tippet and, going away from the hook, wrap it five times around the standing part of the tippet.
In the space between the hook eye and the first wrap, push the tag end of the tippet through and this should create an open loop above the wraps. Take the tag end of the tippet and put it through this loop. Then pull on the tie just until the knot begins to tighten.
As you tighten the knot while fly tying, slowly pull on both ends-the hook and the standing part of the tippet. Do this until the knot is firmly against the hook. Then cut off the excess line at the tag end of the tippet.
Fly fishing is a great hobby for anyone who likes a challenge. One of the most important parts of fly fishing is fly tying. Master this and you can consider yourself a true fly fisherman.
