Fly fishing to cobia
A fly rod and line are probably the most commonly used tackle when fishing for cobia. However, a fishing lure is an equally important tool. Baitfish-patterned lures are best. This type of fly sinks, so you should cast it at high speeds. The hook is likely to be cut off if a cobia swoops towards the fly. Next is to learn sight-fishing for cobia.
The first step is to dump the whole fly line into your backing. After the line has sunk, you should quickly take it out and strip it off again. Using a sinking line can help you catch more cobia than you might otherwise. You can also use weighted fly flies. If sight casting is difficult, a sinking and weighted line can be used. Keep a fly rod on hand for hungry cobia.
Fly fishing for Tarpon
Fly fishing is a great way to catch big Tarpon. Tarpon are not like other saltwater species so it is important to know what to look out for when choosing a fly fishing pattern. Your success rate will depend on the size of your hook and the material you use. Lefty Kreh’s tricker is one of tarpon's most effective patterns. This streamer is tied on a 2/0 hook, which will drive the fly home.
You need to understand their natural feeding habits when fishing for tarpon. Tarpon are active in the early morning hours so it is best to fish right after the sun rises. This will give you the best chance to catch a strike. If the sun is setting, you can fish at night for Tarpon. Keep in mind, however, that tarpon are prey animals so it is important to avoid artificial light during daylight hours.
Ken Tenaka's fly fishing videos
Ken Tenaka has a number of fly fishing YouTube channels. You might have seen his video on fly fishing. He shares great tips with the fishing community through vlogs and edits.

Two types of video are offered by the New Zealand fly angler: dry flies as well as the underwater version. His videos are rich in detail and show you how to tie the fly properly. These videos are also very entertaining and show dry flies being tipped to get the best results. Not only are the videos packed with valuable information but they also feature amazing cinematography. It's a fascinating and informative look at fly fishing.
Hirata-san's tenkara flyfishing
You might be surprised to know that the methods that Hirata-san uses to catch fish have been his mainstays for five decades. Although these methods have changed over time, they still remain the foundation for tenkara. The techniques he uses are also called "Shokuryoshi school" methods. They also have roots in the traditional methods of fishing fish.
This video explains the history and provides detailed instructions for choosing flies. Hiratasan uses a hand-furled, horsehair-line, and hand-ties all of the flies. He also shows how to tie horsehair lines without using a vice. His techniques include presentation, onstream casting and hook setting.

How To
Finding the Best Fishing Spot
The best places to fish are those where you know what kind you want. You need to decide if you want deep sea fishing, or shallow water fishing. Deep sea fishing is expensive and requires a boat. The cost of shallow water fishing is minimal as it's done from shore. Shallow water fishing is the best option if you want to catch trout. However, if your goal is to catch barracuda you will have to venture out into deeper waters.
There are many different types of fishing spots, depending on your preferences. Some locations offer only one type while others offer many options. For example, some places are known for their bass fishing while others specialize in fly fishing. Some places are well-known for their shark fishing and crabbing.
The best way to figure out where to go depends on your budget, how long you plan to stay, and what you like doing. Do you enjoy camping? If so, you might be interested in a spot near a lake. Do you prefer the city? You might prefer the beach. Perhaps you even like to go canoeing, sailing or scuba diving.
