Challenges of Nymph Fly Fishing
When nymph fly fishing, the angler is imitating the juvenilestage of aquatic insects. As such, all fly fishing is doneunderwater, not on top of it. Thus, unlike when dry fly fishing,an angler will not see a rise or the fish itself pop through thesurface when gulping in a fly. Additionally, unlike dry fly fishing, when using nymphs an anglerwill usually not be able to see the actual fly itself. Not beingable to see the fly itself is probably what gives anglers new tofly fishing with nymphs the most problems, as it needless to saymakes it more difficult to detect strikes and set the hook. Yet another challenge of nymph fly fishing is that the nymphs arefrequently floated along or just near the river bottom. As such,the nymph will constantly be "bumping" into underwaterobstructions ? particularly rocks. All these little bumps causebeginner anglers to mistake these bumps for strikes (as thestrike indicator will momentarily pause when the nymph hits arock). And, of course, sooner or later, the nymph will actuallyhook a rock or log, leading to the fun of getting the fly unstuckfrom whatever it hooked. Finally, the angler who is fly fishing with nymphs will have touse methods to get their fly down into the water. Comparatively,dry fly fishing is easy where all fishing occurs right on thesurface. Everything in dry fly fishing is two dimensional. With nymphfishing, however, the angler will need to determine how deep thetrout are and then figure out how to get their fly to that depth? adding a 3rd dimension to their fly fishing. To accomplish thisrequires being able to know how to get your nymph to the rightdepth, as well as making accurate casts. To top this off, trout tend to be much more subtle when they eatnymphs. Unlike in dry fly fishing, when trout often times hit afly really hard, trout unfortunately don't show thischaracteristic with nymphs. This is probably due to the fact thatthe bulk of a trout's diet is in the form of nymphs. Whatever thereason, though, a trout tends to "slurp" in nymphs gently ? oftentimes just being lazy and waiting for the nymph to float right toit. Because of this, setting the hook properly (and knowing whento do it) when fly fishing with nymphs is extremely important forsuccess. These are the challenges of fly fishing with nymphs. And thesesame challenges are generally what put off many a fly fishermanfrom attempting nymph fishing ? all the more so if they justhappen to be fly fishing on a river known for top-water hatches(even though the exact same river may have even bettersub-surface fishing!). _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/Who else wants to pull in a bounty of big fish - Every time!Here's how to AMAZE your friends (and maybe even make them a little bit jealous) In 'Fly Fishing Secrets' we show you how.To get your hands on these amazing insider secrets, Click Here: http://www.fly-fishing-secrets.com_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/

Swordfish and Swordfishing Generally an oceanic species, the swordfish is primarily a midwater fish at depths of 650-1970 feet (200-600 m) and water temperatures of 64 to 71°F (18-22°C). Although mainly a warm-water species, the swordfish has the widest temperature tolerance of any billfish, and can be found in waters from 41-80°F (5-27°C). The swordfish is commonly observed in surface waters, although it is believed to swim to depths of 2,100 feet (650 m) or greater, where the water temperature may be just above freezing. One adaptation that allows for swimming in such cold water is the presence of a "brain heater," a large bundle of tissue associated with one of the eye muscles, which insulates and warms the brain. Blood is supplied to the tissue through a specialized vascular heat exchanger, similar to the counter current exchange found in some tunas. This helps prevent rapid cooling and damage to the brain as a result of extreme vertical movements. The Fish Dont Care What You Wear The fish don't care what you wear.

Fishing Fall Bass - Early Fall Fishing for Bass in the Northwest as the Seasons Change You have just rolled out of bed, poured you coffee and there it is. You knew it was coming, but it is real, it is here. What am I talking about? It's not taxes, the Grim Reaper or even your in-laws coming for an extended stay. It is the first foggy Fall morning. If you have spent any time in the Northwest you know what that means. From here on out the weather will never get quite as hot as it did all summer, and the nights will be cooler. Sure, we may get an Indian Summer and some nice days, but the fact is, things are cooling off. Now it is time to start thinking about what that means for our Bass fishing.With the falling temperatures, Bass will start to build up their Winter reserves. This can offer some fantastic fishing opportunities if you know what to look for. Big Bass that have been hiding deep all Summer are now moving up and looking for as much food as they can. Their feeding periods will also lengthen as the Sun drops to lower angles. All the better for us!Most experts would agree that Fall Bass are suckers for the right crank bait. This means you probably will grab lures that are a little bigger than you have been using all Summer. The Bass that have made it to Fall are smart and will be looking for lures that closely match the size and color of the prey fish that spawned in the Spring. Check out what is in your lake and match up to that. Another good choice is to grab your top water lures. Again, the big Bass are looking to load up on food and will be watching for any easy meals above them.Finding the Bass is of course key. But where are they? The simple answer is, where the bait fish are. These are most likely going to be found in closer to shore than they previously were, hanging out in the shallows and around the green plants. My favorite tactic to find bait fish is to bring along an extra pole rigged with a small jig and bobber and when I am exploring a lake, drop it out in front of me and let it sit on a hole before I start throwing my Bass hooks at it. I also toss it out when I am changing or re-tying lures. If there are bait fish there, then odds are, the Bass are lurking near by. Important things to look for are areas where there is cover for the Bass to move between their deeper holding areas to the shallow feeding areas. Also remember on cloudy and windy days or in stained water, the Bass may not retreat at all to their holding areas, but may spend the day feeding in the shallows. Pay attention to water that is shallower than you would normally expect to find big fish. I have seen large Bass lurking in water as shallow as one foot.
