Tips For Beginners: Watch Your Fly
Another of the challenges for beginners is seeing their fly on the water surrounded by natural flies and/or reflections. To increase your selective vision be sure to watch your fly land.
To start, fish with hi-vis flies that have a brightly colored wing or post to aid in locating them. Once you see your fly do not take your eyes off of it. Another option is to fish two flies, a large visible fly with a smaller more imitative fly as a trailer.
Remember, in fly fishing you see the strike, you do not feel the strike. The exception would be when fishing streamers, but this is an advanced technique. Whether you are nymphing with an indicator or drifting dry flies, it is a necessity to see your flies for effective hook sets.

Thank you for this post. I was never convinced of buying a fly fishing reel because I am not pretty sure of how it works, but now I know. With this device, I will certainly have more fun fishing. Indeed, there are a lot to learn about fishing as well as the boats parts (like that of the marine paneling ) if one is very interested to master the skill of fly fishing. Thanks for the info!
