Thanks for the explanation of the differences between the types of flies. I'm still new to fly fishing and have been confused over the difference between nymphs and wet files. Now I need to learn what a swinging technique is.
Do you have suggestions for identifying flies just based on their look? I’m a beginner and bought a few sets of flies but they weren’t labeled well….other than the obvious large dries or the tiny midges or bead heads I’m having trouble determining whether they are a dry or nymph
I'm new too, but from what I understand, anything with a tungsten bead or bead on the front makes it heavier so it sinks, so if you identify a bead or a heavier fly, it'll be a nymph style. Otherwise it's dry and meant to float at the top, or if it's fully a streamer it'll be heavy and will be a leach, a fish, or something along those lines that sinks to the bottom
awesome .....at last, a short and to the point video to explain what I needed to know as a total beginner. Thank you so much, can't wait to see other videos.
Originally started coarse fishing, growing fond of carping... I then fell head over heels in love with fly fishing. These days I don't miss out as I use floating dog biscuit flies to surface fish the carps.
thank you very much! this is the most valuable information! i was searching about this for weeks and this is the only video that explained what kind of flys do what and what they look like!
How about a presentation on purchasing flies - where, how to tell a quality made from a not so quality made, what you might expect to pay for quality, what quantity of which should you have in your kit.... hopefully with images.... Thanks
Hi Martin, fly fishing for Bluegill is a ton of fun and a great introduction to the sport. One of the great things about panfish is you do not need a ton of highly specialized and expensive equipment. Your standard trout dry flies and nymphs will work, as well as small poppers and streamers. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Cheers!
i am only starting fly fishing, but i could be considered one of the best where i live in term of pan fishing. sunfish like bluegills and yellow sunfish are very aggressive and territorial. they will eat everything that looks good either dead (non-moving) or moving. they very rarely come to the surface to eat, so your best bet is to use anything that swims in the water. be careful of the size because sunfish especially the yellow sunfish has a very very small mouth.
I’m just getting into fly fishing this helps soooo much I’m teaching myself ha ha
Glad to hear it!

Not all of these "hatches" are flies. The only ones who are flies are Midges.
Fly baiscs?
