Dry fly fishing is at the top of any fly fisherman’s list of fun
fishing. The visual capture of dry fly continues to excite many
anglers as the best way to tip the fly. Many fishermen try
keep busy with various fly tying techniques as well as
nymph techniques. We will discuss several of those techniques.
below, but for now we’ll start with dry fly techniques.
To see the fly fly freely, then the flash of a trout, followed
By the curve of your fly rod, this is what most of us look for. For
experience it, fly fishermen will take action beyond most
other fishermen. I’d say 30% of the fly fishing time
is dedicated to catching a dry fly. My favorite fly fishing memories have
it included large fish taken with a dry fly. Sure, dredging a nymph and
snagging an old Brown or a huge River Rainbow is satisfying, but
I will take a stream on a dry fly, in any size, on any day.
When I go to a stream, new or old, I first put a nymph. There
are exceptions (fish that soar everywhere until an obvious hatching) that
they make me rummage through the box in my compartment, but the indicator and
nymphs are my first choice. I can catch fish while I watch
what’s going on in the creek. When I have things figured out,
then I go to the dry fly. This is where I have the most fun.
Equipment is important! Try to use as long a fly rod as you can
get away with. Some anglers use a 5’6 “fly rod for dry fly
fishing, but in general, a longer rod of eight feet or more is
desirable. A medium or faster action is desirable to have the
speed of reaction and hook placement that sometimes dries out fly fishing

Your index finger rests on the “balance” cork grip. That would be
where the fly rod hangs level in the balance of your index finger
on the cork. This makes the feeling of the cast second nature. you

feels the fly crawling over its leader, the tip of the rod bends and
the fly line loop during its release as if feeling the tracking of
your wheels on the road while driving.
Understanding these important aspects of fly fishing is not
difficult, it just takes some experience. You will soon reach a
point at which you understand each and every aspect of your
fishing equipment and technique in great detail. Especially if
you continue to chase trout with a fly rod, particularly a dry one

or weight forward, you will find that you will have a very hard time
noticing the difference. A double cone will last twice as long
because you can flip the fly line when it’s worn out. Objective I
they seem to gravitate toward a forward weight. If you like to “shoot”
casts, forward weight seems to work better.
If you want, you can experiment with mini shooting heads and
tailored lines for your dry fly fishing activities. Loop deals

Leaders are an important aspect of dry fly fishing. Many fishermen
they like to use the Rio leaders, which are very flexible, but the butt
through the midsection is stiff enough for the leader to straighten,
or “turn around.” For small streams, a 9 foot leader at 6x is
Perfect. If you need to reduce to 7x, a tippet length can
be added.
