WITH A FEW TIPS, SHARING THE ART OF FLY FISHING CAN BE EASY

You may be tired of fishing alone or want to share a favorite hobby with loved ones. After all, someone probably taught you, and if you’re reading this, you lived to tell the tale. While it may seem daunting at first, teaching children or family members how to fly fish can be immensely rewarding, and it’s not difficult with the right tips. Here are some tips for getting your budding student out on the water with a bent rod, tight line, and plenty of fishing opportunities.

I WENT FISHING:

Despite what many online retailers may lead you to believe, you don’t need to take out a second mortgage to buy a good fly fishing setup. An entry-level rod and reel is more than enough to keep a novice using them for years, and it’s best to avoid getting too deep into the purchase (pun intended) in case they lose interest.

Likewise, you’ll also want to make sure you choose a versatile rod for a variety of fishing conditions in your area. In general, a 9 foot 5/6 weight rod is adequate for most freshwater fishing, from alpine lakes to large rivers. If you are fishing in the ocean, you may want to go with a heavier rod, such as a 9 foot 8 weight rod. Wild Water Fly Fishing offers a variety of great rods for beginners.

It is also worth buying a few more leaders and flies than usual. Tangles and snags are more likely for a beginner, and you may need more supplies quickly.

Wild Water Fly Fishing is the one-stop shopping experience to get started. Check out all the gear you could possibly need here!

FIRST STEPS:

Start with some target practice. While it may be tempting to go straight into the water, the best place to teach casting is in an open, grassy area, such as a public park or backyard. Place a hula hoop, small tarp, or blanket about 20 to 25 feet away (this will be the target). Next, tie off a piece of shiny yarn to help the new fly fisherman see the location of the “fly” while casting. Casting without a hook also helps alleviate the anxiety new fly anglers often experience at the prospect of accidentally hooking.

Once your goal is set and the budding fly fisherman is ready, you can try some soft casts. Emphasize stopping the cast at the 10 and 2 o’clock positions, and don’t worry about dropping any more lines for now. Many beginners will try to use their wrists to move the rod from side to side, which will lead to rapid fatigue and a lack of precision. Encourage them to use their forearms and keep a straight wrist.

The most common mistake beginners make is waiting longer on the back cast, a mistake that will inevitably result in a tangled line. For the first few casts, ask the novice to allow the fly to drop to the ground behind him, following it with his eyes the entire time. From the ground, ask them to do the same with the forward throw, aiming at the target. Watching the fly line on forward and backward casts will help them get an idea of ​​how long it takes for the fly line to extend behind and in front of them.

Once he gets a feel for straightening out the line on both the forward and reward pitching motion, you can have him start attempting regular pitches. They may still have trouble waiting for the back cast, so you may need to ask them to count to two or three before sending the fly forward again (time will vary depending on rod, fly, and technique). It’s also a good idea for them to watch both the forward and backward pitch to help visualize how long they should wait before starting the next pitch motion.

Eventually you should move the target further away and explain how to let out a bit of line to lengthen the cast.

Of course, a big part of fly fishing is tying (and untying!) knots. The knots can sometimes be the most challenging part. Start with a string or piece of yarn; this will help the student to visualize how the knot is tied without having to play with the small line diameters used on fly leaders. After that, it’s time to move on to reality.

IN WATER:

Now that you and your student are ready to hit the water, it’s essential to think about where to start. Choose a slow-moving lake or river where the fly is highly visible, preferably away from brush or trees that could result in a snag. It’s usually best to start with dry flies, as adding a nymph can exponentially increase the chance of a tangle. If you don’t plan to keep any fish, remove the barbs from the hook. While doing so can make it more difficult to land fish, it also reduces the chance of injuring you or your student!

Set expectations. As they start pitching, it’s vital that the beginner knows what they can reasonably expect on the day. Even the best fly fisherman returns empty-handed, and a novice can quickly become frustrated if nothing bites. Make it clear that catching a fish is not guaranteed. Keep the focus on technique, not results, praise every good throw and provide advice when needed. They are most likely too busy to get bored or frustrated, and it will help them get a sense of pleasure from the activity itself, not just the capture.

FISH HANDLING:

The moment has come. You see the flash, you hear the splash, and the rod tip begins to bend downward. With a bit of luck and your calm guidance, your ward lands the fish.

If you plan to release the fish, you have one last teaching opportunity: handle it without injuring it. Have the novice wet their hands before touching the fish, demonstrate how to safely remove the hook, and carefully return it to the water. If the fish won’t stay upright, slowly rock it back and forth in the water to force oxygen through the gills.

With patience and understanding, you can help new anglers become accomplished anglers, so they can tell the story of the day they got hooked on fly fishing.

From May 27-29, $5 of every belt purchased at ArcadeBelts.com will go directly to supporting the military in the mountains

Arcade Belts Affiliate Partners: Avantlink / Skimlinks / Viglink

Arcade, a brand that has long championed the belief that the outdoors should be accessible to all, is taking a different approach to Memorial Day with a giving back program to benefit the Foundation’s Military to the Mountains program. High Fives. Military to the Mountains introduces veterans and first responders to the healing effects of skiing and snowboarding with the goal of offering the opportunity to reclaim their physique by overcoming mental and physical barriers. Experiencing the mountains for the first time after injury redefines your limits and ignites a new passion for taking on ridges you no longer thought possible.

“It’s part of our DNA at Arcade to rethink our impact during holiday sales and, instead of a traditional discount, create opportunities to support incredible initiatives like the High Fives Foundation’s Military to the Mountains program, which make a genuine impact on life. of people,” Kevin said. Walker, Director of Marketing, Arcade.

From Saturday, May 27 through Monday, May 29, Arcade will donate $5 from every belt sold at Arcadebelts.com to Military to the Mountains.

Since 2015, 165 veterans have received support through the Military to the Mountains program. Each year, 22 veterans and first responders are selected from the partnership between the Adaptive Training Foundation in Dallas, Texas and Reno, Nevada. They are given the opportunity to train for nine weeks, preparing for a week of skiing and snowboarding in the Palisades Tahoe.

“Growing up with a father who served in multiple branches of the military, it is an honor to provide this support to a group that is so close to my childhood upbringing and to those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom as a country.” says Roy Tuscany, CEO of the High Fives Foundation. “Partnering with Arcade to support our Military to the Mountains program helps bring seriously injured veterans back into the community through sport and finding the best way to get back on the slopes through skiing or snowboarding as a form of healing, bonding and empowerment through a new challenge. .”

Each year, Arcade works to support the High Fives Foundation, among other organizations. In March 2023, Arcade raised over $164,000 for the High Fives Foundation through its Mothership Classic ski-a-thon fundraiser.

GIRL FIVE FOR OUR PARTNER

The Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies is pleased to announce that BearWise has now been adopted by 39 states and is being used by people across the country. BearWise meets the growing need for consistent information on living responsibly with black bears. This innovative program provides information backed by solid science and helpful resources that provide individuals, neighborhoods, communities, and businesses with practical ways to prevent human-bear conflict and help keep bears in the wild.

“BearWise offers a wealth of useful information and smart solutions that help homeowners, businesses and communities coexist with bears,” said Curt Melcher, director of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife and president of the Association of Fish and Wildlife Agencies. “This program provides information that people can understand and trust, and resources and tools that people can use with confidence. The Association is proud to be part of such an impressive program.”

Black bears were once found throughout the wooded lands of the United States, but as the country became more colonized, bear populations declined. Today, thanks to new attitudes and decades of enlightened conservation and management, black bears have made a dramatic comeback across much of their historic range and are returning to many places where they have not been seen in decades. Once again, there are established bear populations in at least 40 states and frequent sightings in several more. More people than ever are living, visiting, and spending time outdoors in bear country. The combination of more people in bear country and more bears living closer to people creates greater potential for human-bear interactions and conflict. The need for a trusted national resource that provides scientifically sound information on living responsibly with bears and avoiding conflict has never been greater.

“It’s not enough for a state wildlife agency to simply educate people about bears. We need you to take action. BearWise provides many resources that help people prevent conflict in their homes and communities, as well as when spending time outdoors in bear country. Agencies also benefit when visitors from BearWise states travel and contribute their knowledge. Being BearWise is a way of life,” said Dan Gibbs, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Black Bear Program Leader and BearWise Program Committee Chair.

BearWise was developed by bear biologists at the state agency who wanted to ensure that no matter where people lived, played or traveled, they received the same consistent message about co-existing with bears. Today, the BearWise program is managed by a team of North American bear biologists and communication professionals and is supported by the Association and the wildlife agencies of BearWise member states.

KOR^® Cases, known for inventing and patenting the only universal gun storage insert, the Vacuum Rigid Structure (VRS^®), announces a brand ambassador partnership with Kristy Titus and her chase the wild series. KOR Cases builds technologically advanced firearms storage and transport systems for the outdoor enthusiast.

Kristy gets in on all of those shooting activities and appreciates how KOR VRS foam replacement technology allows her to convert her existing gun into a universal carry system.”

“I am honored to partner with a brand that recognizes the impact of its product on an entire industry,” Titus said. “I was instantly hooked when I realized I would never have to cut, rip, pay for, dispose of, or store foam again. It’s not often that new technology wows me like KOR’s VRS system did,” he said. “This is really a game changer.”

Patented VRS inserts customize gun case interiors by replacing the bottom layer of foam and secure weapons and gear by surrounding and conforming to the contents. It offers a tailor-made, turnkey carry solution for virtually any long gun. And by eliminating the need to cut and store foam inserts, VRS provides a versatile and eco-friendly option in one system.

“We all know that airlines are not kind to our firearm cases, and no one wants to get off a plane only to find out that our firearm or optics were damaged in transit. With the amount of time I spend on the road, whether I’m hunting elk in Wyoming, shooting a PRS game in New Hampshire, or hunting wildlife in Africa, protecting the integrity of my firearm and optics is a top priority. “, said. “By retrofitting my existing case with the VRS insert, I never have to worry about removing my optics, bipods or other accessories, for a custom fit no matter where my adventures take me.”
