Fly Fishing Large Western Rivers

VOLUME #2, SPRING (47 min)

Rich Hafele and John Smeraglio continue their educational antics in our second volume on Fly Fishing Large Western Rivers. This DVD they continue their informative study of the Deschutes River in Oregon.

Spring is a great time to be anywhere on a stream or lake fishing. Insect hatches abound and fish are hungry and active as waters begin to warm. This video will help decipher all these new activity of spring. A few thing to keep in mind include:

1.
Multiple or complex hatches are common in the spring: This means you need to carefully observe adult insect activity and if at all possible collect insect samples from the stream bottom.

2.
Main hatch activity, and therefore fish feeding activity, in the spring is between 11 am and 5 or 6 pm. Be prepared with the right flies and leaders when the hatch activity begins.

3.
Fish Feeding: Because of the variety of insects on the water change flies often if you aren't catching fish. During  multiple hatches fish may switch what they are feeding on from hour to hour.

4.
Watch rise forms of feeding trout for clues about what stage or type of insect they are eating.

5.
Practice your casting techniques. Remember good presentation is almost always more important  than having the perfect fly pattern.

6.
Finally - laugh a little while you're out there. Remember you've just spent hundreds if not thousands of dollars to try and out wit something with a brain the size of a pea so you can lead it around at  the end of a string  and then let it go. Sounds pretty funny to us!!
