Salt Water Fly Fishing
from: Rob LoreSalt water fly fishing has grown in popularity over the past few decades as many fishermen experience the thrill and excitement of the sport. Some fishermen choose to don their fly fishing waders and fish from the shoreline. Some fishermen prefer to use a small boat as they explore shallow fishing areas. Still Some fishermen opt for the adventure of deep sea fly fishing.
Nearly three quarters of the earth is covered with salt water, giving those who enjoy salt water fly fishing an unlimited number of places to fish. On both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts the tide rises and falls twice within a 24 hour period. In the Gulf of Mexico, there are some places where the tide rises only once a day.
Understanding the flow of the tides is essential for salt water fly fishing. Tides affect the water's temperature and its clarity, two of the factors that have an effect on the movement of the fish in the area. If you are salt water fly fishing near an inland bay or a lagoon, the tides will play a major role in choosing the best area to fish. For example, if the body of water is tide drained through a narrow creek, fish will be feeding on the smaller fish that have been swept through it. The best place to fish is down side of the mouth of the creek.
There are thousands of miles of coastline in the United States which offer an almost unlimited number of locations for salt water fly fishing. Most salt water fly fishing is done in relatively shallow waters, or very close to the shore. This is called inshore saltwater fly fishing.
Inshore saltwater fly fishing includes salt water fly fishing done from the shore or from a small boat in shallow waters. Many varieties of fish can be taken while inshore salt water fly fishing including striped bass, channel bass, bluefish, bonefish, flounder, bonito, barracuda, rockfish, cobia, halibut, jack crevalle, jewfish, ladyfish, mackerel, pollack, pompano, shark, snapper, snook, rooster fish, tarpon, and weakfish.
Deep water saltwater fly fishing can be extremely exciting and challenging saltwater fly fishing. Deep water saltwater fly fishing is done in water more than 12 feet deep from a boat that can range in size from a 10 foot skiff to a 50 foot ocean going vessel. Deep water saltwater fly fishing is quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to fish.
Deep water fish sought by fly fishermen are roughly divided into to categories, roamers and homebodies. Roamers are mostly pelagic and move great distances in a short time. Some of the varieties of roamers that can be caught while deep water saltwater fly fishing include albacore, dolphin, marlin, wahoo, sailfish, yellowtail, and tuna.
Homebodies sometimes appear in schools, but it is not unusual to find a solitary one. Homebodies include African pompano, Great barracuda, rockfish, grouper, amerjack, and snapper. These are only a few of the many vanities that are popular for deep water saltwater fly fishing ocean waters.
Whether you decide on inshore saltwater fly fishing or deep water saltwater fly fishing, salt water fly fishing will provide an exciting, challenging and memorable experience.
