Did you know there are different approaches to fly casting depending on the type of fish you are fishing for?

Trout fishermen often only use thirty to thirty-five
feet of line, but make up for the short length by focusing on accuracy.
They
try to “read” the water and consistently put the fly where they want
it. They also concentrate on presentation and approach. These factors are often more critical than pattern.

Bass fishing requires a somewhat different approach.
Whether you’re employing a streamer or a surface bug, make sure it
moves
past a spot where a bass is probably going to hold. Timing is
important. The fly won’t be in the right spot if your timing is off.
Double haul
casting becomes essential (a haul takes place when the fly-fisher pulls
on the fly line during the casting stroke). The double haul method
produces line speed. It enables the caster to get additional distance.
